He Kākahu Rerehua — The Uplifting Wind
He Kākahu Rerehua |The Uplifting Wind weaves together an exhibition, collection care project and wānanga in one space. Each strand of this kaupapa honours the different dimensions of a kākahu: the materials, the process of its creation, the life it has led and the people it is connected to. The gallery will showcase a selection of kākahu (Māori garments), and the story of transformation from raw materials to taonga tuku iho (treasures handed down from the ancestors) through the skill, knowledge and ingenuity of the weaver. Although many of the makers are not known, we celebrate their creativity and talent.
