Cigar Box Guitars – Talk + Performance
Next date: Wednesday, 08 July 2026 | 07:00 PM
The Forrester Gallery & Mahika Kai Mahika Toi presents an evening of musical creations and performance in our new Pouākai atrium.
Eric Shepard will present his cigar box guitars - a folk instrument of humble origins that he has expertly transformed into not only a professional instrument but a work of art.
Matt Bokser and Gary Shirley will discuss their journey of creating a stomp box of their own design - an instrument that provides a percussive beat.
In addition to both talks, musical performances featuring the instruments will take place throughout the evening.
