Utua Pai! The Price of Change revitalises Māori art and craft through innovative public projects, fostering community collaboration while balancing historical imbalances and promoting cultural integrity and artistic excellence.
Ka Whaihanga means to make, the aim for this series of wānanga [10 days is was to bring together Māori weavers with varied skills to share ideas and produce work for an exhibition together. The wānanga were planned as a timely response to the impacts Covid19 on the creative community. This series of gatherings offer the makers a space to come together and re-connect with each other post-lockdown. To meet kanohi ki te kahohi will be a re-energising experience for some of the artists who have struggled with project cancellations and postponements. Ka Whaihanga the exhibition will be held over 4 days at John Scott’s iconic Futuna Chapel in Karori. The modernist architecture built on the aesthetics of a Māori kaupapa offers a distinctive space to present objects. The exhibition will feature new work which will be a result of the wānanga series. To support the exhibition and promote it to a wider national audience an online catalogue will be available with high quality images of both the objects and the artists making.
