Te Mana O Te Taiao Group Exhibition. The mana of the living environment.
This is a visual expression of the connection we share with the environment. The kaupapa that drives the thinking of the exhibition is to creatively explore the difference in worldview between Kaitiakitanga and Conservation. This is a chance to celebrate our differences and recognise our similarities. In recognising the similarities, we look to find and share common interest where we can work together to strengthen the Taiao.
Traditionally, Matariki was a time to acknowledge the dead and to release their spirits to become stars. It was also a time to reflect, to be thankful to the gods for the harvest, to feast and to share the bounty of the harvest with family and friends. The third star is Tupuānuku which is associated with food grown in the ground. This star is looked upon during the month of May to indicate that the summer harvest has ended, and winter is near.
You can look upon this star and set an intention to get out into your vege garden. June is a great time to plant winter vegetables such as spinach, silver beet, lettuce, onions, and peas. Homegrown kai that can be shared with whānau and friends.
Opening preview Saturday 17th at 10am, during our Matariki Market Day which will run all day. Everyone welcome.
On display in The People's Gallery - Toi ka rere from 19th June to the 15th July 2023. Open 10am-3pm Monday to Saturday.
