about

Zoe Thompson-Moore (Tangata Tiriti – Manx, Irish, English) is an artist and cultural worker living in Te Awakairangi ki Tai Lower Hutt.

Her practice generates possibilities for transforming our relationships with each other, our work/doing, the more-than-human and ourselves.

Zoe plays with what is at hand – enfolding the people, processes and materials of her everyday life into her projects. Situated, embodied, relational and emergent – her practice encompasses a total way of being in the world.

Her ongoing project around-the-block studio is a neighbourhood practice space. Here she can often be found gleaning inspiration from the loose-parts-play of the neighbourhood kids or tending the beloved community compost heap.

She has worked with Bellamys Gallery (2025), Waiwhetū Fruit and Vege Co-op (2025), Forrester Gallery (2025), Ilam Campus Gallery (2024), Movement Art Practice (2024), Toi Pōneke (2023), Wormhole Studio (2023), RM Gallery and Project Space (2022), Blue Oyster Te Tio Kikorangi (2022), The Dowse Art Museum (2021) and Enjoy Contemporary Art Space (2020).
