Ruaruawhetū – Weaving Design Celebrating the Stars

DEPOT's Artspace Gallery presents Ruaruawhetū - Weaving Design Celebrating the Stars, featuring individual and collectively produced raranga (weaving) from 16 artists.

Coming from across the motu, the artists will share their knowledge of raranga through an artists' talk and a series of weaving workshops. Within the exhibition, visitors are invited to experience different weaving patterns related to and embracing the nine stars of Matariki, and share in this mātauranga Māori.

The exhibition is curated by Terehia Walker, an upcoming raranga artist of Ngāpuhi, Tainui and Te Ātiawa descent, with her husband, Ngahiwi Walker, as the supporting cultural adviser/kaumātua and whakairo artist.

Please see the DEPOT website for more information.
