The Nga Kaihanga Uku organisation of Maaori clay workers began in 1986 by a group of artists drawn together by the common desire to make artworks in clay based on kaupapa Maaori. The exhibition showcases 47 hand-built ceramic works and charts the creative progress of these dynamic members of the movement over the last 25 years.
