Toi Māori: The Eternal Thread – Te Aho Mutunga Kore
16 February to 27 May 2007
Christchurch Art Gallery is honoured to host the homecoming of this acclaimed exhibition - Toi Māori: The Eternal Thread – Te Aho Mutunga Kore - following its highly successful tour of the United States.
The exhibition features more than 90 Maori art works, providing an insight in to New Zealand’s cultural identity and through the juxtaposition of historical and contemporary works explores the evolution of Maori art.
From the finest traditional Maori kakahu (cloaks) and kete (finely woven baskets) and whariki (floor mats) to contemporary pieces using peacock feathers, fishing line and builders’ paper, the exhibition celebrates the changing art of Maori weaving. Other exhibits
are taniko (tapestries), tukutuku (wall panels) and piupiu (skirts).
Toi Māori: The Eternal Thread – Te Aho Mutunga Kore is developed and toured by Pataka Museum in partnership with Toi Māori Aotearoa and Te Roopu Raranga Whatu o Aotearoa, and with the support of Te Waka Toi, the Māori Arts Board or Creative New Zealand.
