Tui Emma Gillies and Sulieti Fieme'a Burrows are presenting a collection of tapa created after the Covid-19 lockdown which portrays navigating a changed world in the middle of a pandemic.

Their four-day exhibition, Voyagers: The Niu World, opens on February 20 at the Tautai Gallery in Karangahape Road, Auckland.

Their works depict faces wearing tapa-patterned masks, families together in lockdown, three 1.8-metre-wide paintings of navigation and journey and two larger ngatu.

“The waves have never been bigger or more threatening, the storms have never been so savage, the fires have never been so close and hot," said Burrows.

"We are expressing this in the medium we were brought up in, tapa painting, which has been passed down from generation to generation by those people who made the original voyages and their ancestors before them.

" This exhibition is dedicated to all us voyagers who are navigating the ‘Niu World.’”

Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
