Exhibition Opening: 'Muru'

Papakura Art Gallery warmly invites you to celebrate the opening of 'Muru'.

Muru is a statement of restitution and reciprocity. It describes the Māori cultural practice of restoring justice and balance when actions have brought about harm or disrepute.

Artists Sir Haare Williams, Charles Williams, Janine Williams and Nigel Borell collaborate in this exhibition to explore the concept of Muru in relation to the New Zealand Land Wars (1843 – 1872) the local history of Papakura and the greater Waikato region.
