Experience Te Ringa Māhorahora
Come and enjoy some of the finest weaving work in Aotearoa at Māoriland Hub’s Toi Matarau gallery. Te Ringa Māhorahora showcases the work of Māoriland’s inaugural Ngā Aho Whenua Weavers with artists Sonia Snowden and Pip Devonshire. The exhibition connects threads of excellence with the innovative raranga created by the featured weavers. The challenges of COVID transformed and opened artists up to unexpected discoveries. ‘Hine Te Iwaiwa’ in the context of today is daring and bold, and creates new stories about time, space and reality.
