Honoring our ancestors: Kōrero with Kiingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award Finalists

  • New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata Shed 11, 60 Lady Elizabeth Lane Wellington New Zealand (map)

Join us in the Gallery with 4 of our Kiingi Tuheitia Portraiture Award Finalists, Ngāwini Keelan, Tia Barrett, Ngaroma Riley and Stevei Houkamau.

The Kiingi Tuheitia exhibition is curated during Matariki, as a way to honor the ancestors represented in our Gallery.

Each artist will speak to their mahi toi (artwork) in the exhibition, gifting us with further insight to their practice, whakapapa and context of their work.

This is a unique opportunity to ask artists directly any questions you have about their artwork.

We look forward to having you in the Gallery for this kaupapa.

This is a free event.
