A new exhibition at Te Kōngahu Museum of Waitangi Exhibition Gallery opens to the public on 28 May. 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.
