Ngā Ringa Toi o Tahu

Web, 2017

Nine diverse and talented Ngāi Tahu artists are profiled in this eight-part web series. Their work ranges from the intricate, traditional kākahu (cloaks) and costumes of master weavers Reihana Parata and Morehu Flutey-Henare, to the 'biological landscapes' of Dunedin painter Simon Kaan. Mixed media sculptor and designer Ross Hemera is deeply influenced by the ancient rock drawings of his tīpuna in North Canterbury, while conceptual artist Nathan Pohio's tīpuna are still reaching out to new generations through his art works.
