An upcoming exhibition in Whangārei will showcase the best of young Ngāpuhi artists.
The Taiohī Taiohā exhibition will be held at Hihiaua Cultural Centre from May 10 to 28.
The exhibition is the culmination of a series of wānanga that have been ongoing since February, as a part of the Toi Ngāpuhi wānanga taiohi programme. I have rarely been exposed to opportunities such as this and I am very grateful for the knowledge and taonga that the ringatoi from the previous wā have passed on to not only me but the entire rōpu, said participating artist Te Awa Neumann (Ngāti Hine, Ngātiwai, Ngāti Rehua).
