Simon Endres (b. 1969, Aotearoa New Zealand) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, sculpture, photography, drawing and sound. Of Ngāpuhi and Pākehā descent, Endres explores identity, cultural narrative, masculinity, and social power structures through humour, theatricality, and critical reflection. He lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), bringing a bicultural and Pacific-informed perspective to his contemporary investigations of self and society. He has also contributed to community-focused projects such as the “Whakaako Kia Whakaora/Educate to Liberate” mural on Karangahape Rd and the “Niu Dawn” mural on Edinburgh St, reflecting his ongoing commitment to increase the visibility of Pacific People’s narratives in Aotearoa. @simonendres
