Hammond’s Arcana or the Paradise of Birds
Directors: Struan Ashby and Roy Parkhust
Showing: May 31, 3pm, MTC

A highlight of Gerry Fialka’s not-to-be-missed An Invention Without A Future: The Best of PXL This, Hammond’s Aracana provides a glimpse into the strange world of The Book of Hammond, W.D. Hammond’s heretical but visionary prophecy dictated to him by the great Huia birdspirit ariki which came to him in a vision c. 1847 on the shores and forests of the Auckland Islands.
