Toi Pōneke is excited to present Koru meets Tartan by Toi Pōneke Art Centre’s 2024 Visual Arts Residency recipient Mitchell Manuel, opening on Saturday 21st March 2026.

By fusing the visual vocabularies of tartan and koru, Mitchell creates contemporary artifacts that celebrate the unique, composite identities forged from historical encounter. These works serve as a lens on generational change, connecting our past struggles to present strength and future possibility.
