Exhibition

Toihouora! Toihoutangata! Toihoukura!

20 Sept - 19 October 2014

An Exhibition by Toihoukura 20 years ago Toihoukura School of Māori Visual Art was invited to exhibit at the Page 90 art gallery in Porirua. 21 years later, Toihoukura returns to that venue – now Pataka Art + Museum – with an exhibition that reflects the journey that has taken place during that time.

Toihoukura School of Māori Visual Arts provides a Māori model of learning that sets it apart from other institutions. Through both the ideology and practice of learning in an arts ‘wānanga’ environment, every student is encouraged to reach their personal and professional aspirations using traditional concepts to inform contemporary art expression.

Toihoukura has been a regular exhibitor at Pataka Art + Museum over the last 21 years, and this exhibition is a collection of works by current students and tutors.
