An exhibition weaving worlds and whakapapa from Long Ago

Nō Tāukiuki brings together Māori artists whose work reaches into the world of tūpuna, weaving whakapapa, memory and visual storytelling into contemporary practice.

Across painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, pounamu, jewellery, weaving and adornment, the exhibition celebrates distinctive artistic voices and the enduring kōrero carried through generations.

Journey with us into long ago, where ancestral stories are reimagined in Te Ao Mārama.

Māoriland Celebrates the Storytellers

Manu aute were flown as part of the Matariki festivities, and today that tradition is also being revitalised. It may have been a way for those here on Papatuānuku to reach up into the domain of Ranginui to send messages to those who had passed. “Kua whakarangatia koe – Return, take your place amongst the stars along with your ancestors that adorn the sky”

Our Manu Aute collection, designed for Matariki 2026, is a collaboration between carver Fayne Robinson, his son Tahu and our directors Libby Hakaraia and Madeleine Hakaraia de Young.
