NZPQ19 Te āhua tū wātea

Te āhua tū wātea holds projects that address and embrace themes of transformation, memory, location, “whenua”, individual and collective identity, cultural thresholds, community engagement and diversity. A vessel that voyages into an open space of possibilities and potential, a space where performance may form, inhabit, emerge and begin. Influenced by Maori and Pacific waka the exhibition will perform as a vehicle and platform for interaction, negotiation, and display. A vehicle of transformation, moving and shifting in form and nature between an audio-visual media vessel, a performance platform and a space of dialogue.
