He Tukutuku Auahatanga: Maureen Lander with Community
14 Jun - 12 Oct 2025
Maureen Lander returns to the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery with an extensive exhibition which will include collaborative installations with weavers, children and community members.
Dr. Maureen Lander MNZM (Ngāpuhi, Te Hikutū) a celebrated installation artist, presents a major collaborative exhibition that focuses on shared learning and explores ideas of kaitiakitanga, whanaungatanga, and the connections between whakapapa and raranga.
Over 100+ artists have been involved in the making of the four large-scale fibre installations on display. You are invited to become a collaborator as well – within this exhibition there is a making-space where you can become a ‘star weaver.’ Gift the first star you make to the Star Waka installation and receive someone else’s as a gift to take home.
