Description

Tiakina ngā taonga o Tangaroa

by Te Ohu Weka 2024 – A collaboration of  artists working in wānanga to create foci points for  reflection. 

Led by renowned Te Tauihu based artists Robin Slow and  Mat Tait, a collective of local artists & whānau gathered at  Onetahua Marae in Golden Bay and collaboratively created  the artworks for this years Maramataka. The works have  monoprints as backgrounds and then detail created using a  variety of techniques – manual and digital to bring the works  to completion. 

    TE WAIORA 

Thematically, we reflected on the whakataukī: 

                                  “Ko te wai te oranga o ngā mea katoa”

                                              “Water is the essence of life for all” 

We considered the beauty of the many presentations of  water – mist, rain, snow, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, springs,  oceans, in fact, inclusive of all life carrying water. Then our  focus turned to the challenges to the state of water in our  country today and what we might do to protect and preserve  this most precious essential life-giving resource. 

       We hope to draw your attention  to these matters for reflection, discussion, and action. 

Mauri ora.
