Experience Six Extinctions this Summer, a fun-filled, educational exhibition the whole family will love
Bringing together natural materials alongside painting, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics and weaving, We come from the Earth explores our relationship with the environment with works from the Te Manawa collection.
Artist and teacher Pip Steel has gathered a significant collection of old Japanese rural everyday workwear and household textiles, known today as boro.
Te Whare Pora: a sacred space presents works by artist Maungarongo (Ron) Te Kawa of Ngāti Porou (Aotearoa New Zealand) from the past three years. The exhibition is centered around the core pou (pillars) of his practice: Te Whare Pora, the sacred zone of making; Hineteiwaiwa, the guiding atua (deity) for creativity; and Waipunarangi, the source of ancestral guidance and inspiration.
Join Maungarongo Te Kawa and curator Zoe Black for an insight into Te Whare Pora: A sacred space, a new body of work by Te Kawa.
