Shona Tawhiao's 'Pākākano' explores the connection to whakapapa through the metaphor of seeds. Unfurling, regenerative, and full of potential, the seed is symbolic of change.

In these works Tawhiao’s sculptural forms are vessels, holders of mātauranga, past and present.

A tupuna collaboration between Tawhiao and Marara Maihi, these works cultivate regeneration and champion innovation grounded in taonga tuku iho.

Poipoia te Kaakano, Kia Puaawai.
