Whakahoki

Artist: Keri-Mei Zagrobelna
Photographer and Digital Artist: Norm Heke
Curator: Awhina Tamarapa

18 June – 26 September 2021

Te Whanganui-a-Tara based artist Keri-Mei Zagrobelna’s new exhibition Whakahoki draws inspiration from the Maramataka Māori Lunar calendar to celebrate Matariki in the Courtenay Place Park light boxes.

In Whakahoki, Zagrobelna considers how working within Te Ao Māori can bring balance and meaning to our lives, with a particular focus on mental health. The artist looks at how the Maramataka’s cycles through darkness and light can offer guidance on navigating similar phases in our own lives.
