Taku Hoe

The Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture (FestPAC) is the premier Indigenous arts and culture event in Te Moana Nui a Kiwa. The festival brings together over 2,500 artists and practitioners, representing 28 countries and territories from the Pacific.

In June 2024, a delegation from Aotearoa New Zealand participated in the 13th FestPAC in Honolulu, Hawai‘i.

Together, the artists presented the exhibition Taku Hoe, using the theme of voyaging to celebrate connections between people across Te Moana Nui a Kiwa (the Pacific Ocean). Pātaka is pleased to re-present a selection of work from Taku Hoe back in Aotearoa, where the ongoing connections between Aotearoa and our region are reaffirmed and celebrated.
