Paora Tiatoa (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Raukawa) opened his Beauty and the Beast exhibition at the Hihiaua Cultural Centre last Friday night. Around 50 people attended the opening, which began with a moving karakia and whakatau.
Those in attendance had a chance to win some of Tiatoa's work, with a raffle-like giveaway taking place for three of his prints. Tiatoa then conducted a provocative performance, featuring him wearing a sugar-skull mask and dancing with hammers to Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2).

A councillor says he will complain to the Race Relations Commissioner after his use of te reo Māori while saying a karakia at a Grey Power meeting was labelled an "insult".
Ōpōtiki councillor Louis Rapihana said he was angry with comments in a newsletter circulated after the Whakatāne Grey Power meeting he spoke at late last year.
"I will be taking it further … I will be sending a complaint to Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon," he said.
