He Rito follows the hands of four rangatahi Māori artists who reconnect to and work with harakeke.
This is breath. This is growth. This is healing. Woven together by their shared interest in the active potential of harakeke, the hands of four Ringatoi explore materiality through customary and contemporary practice. He Rito integrates whanaungatanga and reclamation, reconnecting with taonga and imagining expansive futures of Māoritanga.
