Tai o Hī Tai o Hā He Kākāriki Pōwhaitere

‘Tū mai rā he poupou mō āpōpō’

Join us throughout the day as taiohi from Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu take us on a journey inspired and informed by their intrinsic relationships with taiao. A multi-disciplinary group of taiohi will be engaging in artists’ floor talks, demonstrations, taonga puoro and more. Bring the family along to this unique experience and enjoy!

The exhibition ‘He Kākāriki Pōwhaitere’, features the works of 19 taiohi Māori artists. The exhibition is the first milestone of the artists’ time in Toi Ngāpuhi’s youth-focused two-year Māori arts programme Tai o Hī Tai o Hā. The programme holistically develops the skills of aspiring young Māori artists, placing their unique Māori identity as the cornerstone for success. The exhibition is open till 16 August.
