Ngāti Toa's 'Ka Mate' haka has inspired artwork as well as All Black fans. In this mini-documentary, presenter Riria Hotere talks to curator Megan Tamati-Quennell about Paratene Matchitt's Whiti te ra. The abstract painting was also inspired by Te Rauparaha's famous cry. Matchitt is an important Māori modernist artist, whose contemporaries included Ralph Hotere and Selwyn Muru. Also mentioned is Matchitt's City to Sea bridge, a sculptured walkway over Jervois Quay in Wellington which references sea creatures and Ngake and Whātaitai, two taniwha at the heart of the region's creation story.
