Exhibition
In He momo, nā te whānau artists from across Aotearoa respond to this question with works made over a 20-year period. 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.
The artists in He momo, nā te whānau are Andrea Daly, Areta Wilkinson, Chris Charteris, Grace Yu Piper, Jane Dodd, Jennifer Laracy, Joe Sheehan, Keri-Mei Zagrobelna, Matthew McIntyre Wilson, Octavia Cook, Renee Bevan, Sione Monū, Victoria McIntosh and Warwick Freeman.
In He momo, nā te whānau is curated by Sian van Dyk, and is a collaboration between Te Manawa, The Suter and Makers 101. It is generously supported by Creative New Zealand.
