Hongi by Yonel Watene

Hongi is an outdoor exhibition in David Nathan Park, by Yonel Watene (Ngāti Maru). The exhibition recalls Watene's childhood memory of his father performing hongi. Hongi is a representation of what the artist understands the Māori greeting to be, and therefore is an opportunity for the public to reflect upon their own understanding of hongi, too.
