Pinepine te kura, hau te kura
Whanake te kura i raro i Awarua
Ko te kura nui, ko te kura roa
Ko te kura nā Tūhaepō
He kura whakakitenga – Hohou Te Rongo e pōhiri nei
He karanga maioha tēnei, ki ngā kura o te motu kia huihui mai ki te whakatūwherahanga o tēnei whakakitenga, e whakamahara atu ana ki te parekura nui o Waerenga a Hika e 160 tau ki muri.
Nau mai ki te whakakitenga – Hohou Te Rongo o Waerenga a Hika 1865.
In collaboration with Te Aitanga a Māhaki, we warmly invite you to the opening of Hohou Te Rongo — the Waerenga-a-Hika 160th Commemoration exhibition. Marking 160 years since the siege of Waerenga-a-Hika (18–22 November 1865), Hohou Te Rongo — ‘to cultivate peace’ — brings together taonga and contemporary artworks to explore and reflect on the events of 1865 that have shaped our historical and social landscape. The exhibition serves as a bridge towards understanding and healing, using shared visual conversations that weave together the many aspects of this complex history: stories of survival, resistance, and mana motuhake.
Naumai, haere mai rā.

We welcome ideas for new projects and exhibitions so if you have something in mind, please get in touch – we would love to hear from you!
