Pouwātū - Active Presence

Note: Update to come

**Please note that due to Auckland moving to COVID Alert Level 3 until 6 March, the opening of this exhibition on 6 March has been postponed. Please check out the venue page to remain up-to-date on re-opening.**

Celebrating the dynamic 40-year career of tohunga whakaahua (photographer) John Miller (Ngāpuhi), Pouwātū is a statement of active presence. This exhibition is a collaboration with kaihoahoa whare (architect) Elisapeta Heta (Ngātiwai, Waikato Tainui).

Best known for his documentation of radical protest, Miller’s photography documents Māori people, culture and communities from the inside. An alternative history to the dominant narrative: they document candid images of people from everyday occurrences to significant moments, at Rātana Pā, Māori Women’s Welfare League hui, and gatherings of the Polynesian Panthers.
