In He momo, nā te whānau artists from across Aotearoa respond to the notion of intangible inheritance. Cumulatively, they explore the qualities we receive from our parents, grandparents and our ancestors; while considering the cultural rituals, celebrations and baggage that bond the human race. Passing this provocation onto gallery visitors, they ask us what we are leaving behind for our children to inherit.
Stay on for the Triennial Party
