About the event

Multimedia artist Michelle Hinekura Kerr grew up in Uawa/Tolaga Bay and came from a family background of proficient kai raranga/weavers.

“This exhibition is made up of woven sculptures that recall the ancestral stories of the whanau marama, the celestial family of light.

Each piece is made from native fibre whilst using indigenous techniques and designs.”
