Overview
He Taniwha, He Tipua explores narratives of taniwha in Te Ao Māori. This exhibition brings together a collective of three Toi Māori practitioners; Madison Redman (Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa/Ngāpuhi), Fern Ngatai (Ngāti Porou/Tainui) and Tristan Marler (Te Rarawa/Te Aupōuri) to express the diverse representations and symbolic significance of taniwha across Aotearoa.
Through the lens of pūrākau and Toi Māori He Taniwha, He Tipua examines the origins, guardianship roles, and relationships of taniwha with different iwi, hapū and landscapes across the motu. These themes will be explored through a variety of mediums; paint, print, raranga and sculpture
