He Aa I Uta, He Aa I Tai: Weaving the Elements

12 December 2024 - 10 August 2025

Open daily 10am to 5pm

Free entry

Be immersed in new creations by members of Te Roopu Raranga Whatu o Aotearoa, the national collective of Maaori weavers, supported by the master weavers group, Te Kāhui Whiritoi.

Drawing inspiration from our relationship with air, earth, fire, water and spirit, this large-scale exhibition celebrates the legacy of weaving through traditional and contemporary handcrafted works.
