A group exhibition in response to notions of self-care at Ūkaipo Gallery, Tāmaki Makaurau

Curated by Chantel Mathews (Aotearoa) & Aya Takada (Japan)

Hinepūkohurangi (left) and Te papatākaro o Hine (right) emerged from a meditative practice of counting rice, a method used to navigate the inner noise of the mind. This process led to an exploration of whakapapa, culminating in the creation of these works. Captured in the Urewera National Park, these pieces complement and support the works that travelled from Japan as part of the exhibition.
