He Rito

2 - 29 September

He Rito follows the hands of four rangatahi Māori artists who reconnect to and work with harakeke. As their practice enters into te whare pora, they enhance their connection to place, te taiao, and to their ancestry - promoting this journey through community based wānanga. Harakeke is explored through photography, sound and textile design which responds to notions of kaitiakitanga, reclamation and knowledge transmission..
