Whakapapa quilts: finding connections, empowerment and hope
Starting May 25, Taupō Museum is hosting an exhibition by Maungarongo Te Kawa (Ngāti Porou), an artist, storyteller, quilter and fashion designer.
His whakapapa quilts are based on the traditional concepts of te whare pora, the creative zone, waipunarangi, the source of creativity and hine te iwaiwa, the energy of nature.
“These traditional concepts are also used by people like indigenous midwives, weavers, artists and healers. They are part of living a whole, healthy, vital life,” Te Kawa said.
