Join artists Stevei Houkāmau and Jamie Berry on a walk-through talk of their exhibition Ira Tangata Ira Atua.
Stevei Houkāmau is the 2021 Toi Pōneke Visual Artist in Residence. Her uku (clay) practice is distinctive for its carved surface designs that draw upon the indigenous tattoo practices of tā moko and tātau. Ira Tangata Ira Atua springs from research into the artist’s whakapapa. By acknowledging and celebrating her whakapapa, Houkāmau unwraps narratives that will be retold through uku, projection and soundscape.
