Kā Kura Kā Manu | Community Exhibition

In collaboration with Te Raekura, Te Kura Tuatahi o Ōhinehou, Te Kura o Paeraki

Kā Kura Kā Manu is our fourth and final exhibition of 2023 dedicated to the manu (birds) of Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū (Banks Peninsula).

We decided to collaborate with three kura from the community to provide an artistic platform for the next generation of creative minds.

Manu are integral to Te Ao Māori, they are the original inhabitants of Aotearoa New Zealand, and came to incredible heights and depths in our diverse whenua. This exhibition will highlight the manu on our doorstep, the ones buried beneath our very own feet, and their cultural significance for us today. Here we can generate awareness about the critical importance of manu and find common ground on the place we call home.

November 10 to November 27 we will feature kā kura works
November 28 to January 5, there will be the series of works from our Artist Collective.  

Rei Art Gallery is located at 10b Norwich Quay, Lyttelton, down Robert Forbes Lane, next door to Hope River Pies.
