We are thrilled to host TE KAAHU for our next Music of the Month performance.
TE KAAHU is the brainchild of celebrated singer and songwriter Theia (Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Tīpā). Known for her bold art-pop songs and her fierce advocation for the revitalisation of te reo Māori, in TE KAAHU Theia seeks to honour the craft and skill of Māori songwriting and storytelling by shining a light on the beauty and vulnerability in waiata Māori.
Their debut album Te Kaahu O Rangi was released to critical acclaim in 2022, winning the 2023 Taite Prize Best Debut award and Best te reo Māori Album in the 2022 Waiata Māori Music Awards. They were also a finalist for Best New Artist at the 2022 Rolling Stone Awards and Best Alternative Artist in the 2022 AMAs.
Exploring themes related to community, colonisation, ancestors, cultural resilience and pride, TE KAAHU’s music will offer poignant kōrero with our current exhibition Ever Present: First Peoples Art of Australia. Be taken to soaring heights and devastating depths in this soul-stirring, spine-tinglingly intimate performance in the Gallery’s atrium. Don’t miss out on this special experience – book your spot today.
