Celebrating the spiritual essence that gives life to all things, Kura Gallery presents a major group exhibition at Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History embracing the notion that materiality is a core element in the subject matter and approach explored by Māori artists today. It will showcase the diversity of Maori cultural expression through a range of mediums, materials and techniques used in the pursuit of new creative horizons within an ever-changing world.
