Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery’s Pūanga exhibition is He Ao Āpōpō, He Ao Tea: Māori Futures.
He ao āpopō, he ao tea is a hopeful extraction from a proverb written by Dr. Rangitakuku Metekingi of Whanganui iwi. It translates to ‘tomorrow is a new day, and the new day will bring clarity’. This is the ngako, the core theme of our exhibition, and is about manifesting futures and dreams. We remember and honour the inspiring words of Dr. Metekingi.
Curated by Cecelia Kumeroa, the artist line-up for this exhibition includes Kauri Hawkins (Artwork Credit), Eugene Kara, Maioha Kara, Peata Larkin, Tiopira McDowell (Mokotron), James Ormsby, Tia Ranginui, Tyrone Te Waa, Kereama Taepa, Ron Te Kawa, Saffronn Te Ratana, Nephi Tupaea, Paeheretia Collective, John Walsh and Siobhan Wooding.
