The Migrant Diaspora is defined by the narrative of ‘the search for a better life’, an experience shared by Chinese and Pasifika immigrants to Aotearoa, New Zealand in the 1860s and 1960s. The title of Niu Gold Mountain brings these two histories together, Chinese migrants sought their "New Gum San" or "New Gold Mountain" in the gold mines, while Pasifika immigrants searched for the "Land of Milk & Honey."

All My Friends explores these concepts in the present day, working with an array of artists from different backgrounds and creative practices in Tāmaki Makaurau. What are the aspirations of this
generation's Asian and Pasifika artists? What do they see as their New Gold Mountain? Their creative responses to these questions form the four-part video art series Niu Gold Mountain.
