Auckland

Caroline Robinson is the Founder and Director of Cabal, a pioneering arts, design, and facilitation practice based in Auckland, New Zealand. Cabal began in 1990 as a clothing label, including multi-award winning wearable arts and theatre design. Cabal’s current focus is within land-based design processes, bringing an wholistic, deep kinship approach that draws together art, culture and healing, research and storytelling, integration facilitation, design, and construction. Cabal has been awarded numerous high profile public commissions, contributing to some of New Zealand’s largest and most complex urban design and infrastructure developments. Each project is approached as an opportunity to explore and develop the human journey, using simple tools and processes that nourish reciprocal relationship and regeneration—whole people and whole places. Caroline is author of ‘Panmure Sense of Place Scrapbook’ and ‘The Artist’s Workbook’ supporting professional development for visual artists, commissioned by Artist Alliance NZ.
