Celebration and lunch for Aka Kumara, kaiako (teacher) research in progress pop up exhibition. All welcome

For the last year, the kaiako (teachers) in Contemporary Art and Design at Wintec have been meeting and working together to discuss our guiding principles in creative practice. Prompted by Te Pou Ahurei, a programme designed by Toni Herangi, our collective question has been how we might apply principles and ideas from Te Ao Māori to frame our own creative practices. Our hypothesis is to understand, through our experience, how aakonga (students) might benefit from a values-based approach to arts education. This group exhibition is an opportunity for us to share our research in progress.

Artists: Toni Herangi, Tamsin Green, Mason Holloway, Joran Foster, Dani Foster, Gareth William, Tim Croucher, Tony Nicholls
