Kai kā taura takata, kai kā taukaea aroha, tēnei rā mātau o Toi Moroki e owha atu nei. Nau mai, tauti mai ki te wānaka o Āhuataka!

Join CoCA’s 2025 Emerging Curator, Dr Ereni Pūtere, and Isaac Te Awa, Curator Mātauranga Māori at Te Papa Tongarewa. They will talk about the intersections between their lived experience as practitioners and curators, and the significance of woven adornment in Māori lives.

This special exhibition celebrates the living practice of traditional Māori weaving founded in ancestral connection and cultural continuity.
