Join us during Whānau Day this Saturday 12 September for a special curator kōrero in the Homestead Galleries!
⁠
At 1pm in the Homestead Galleries join CEAC Curator Java Bentley for a kōrero about our current exhibitions Tūturu Kāenga and Witipū. Investigating “rediscovery” as a radical creative methodology., this session bridges two distinct gallery spaces: one that re-examines and reshapes the mauri of a single word, and another that returns to and alters a foundational human experience.

Part of Te Pou Theatre's annual Kōanga Festival, Whānau Day is a vibrant celebration of storytelling from Aotearoa and Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, kapa haka, cultural performances, kēmu, arts activities, kai and more!⁠

Now showing in the Homestead Galleries

Tūturu Kāenga is an exhibition by father and son, George Konia and Brook Konia. Inspired by a road trip together along Highway 35 and wānanga at Hinerupe Marae, Te Araroa, in 2025. They each carried stories home, letting them inspire their creativity to become the artworks in this exhibition.

E ai ki te whakatauāki “Hei a koe i te huka o te tai ki te ao parauri. Ko te ahi e kā mai rā, kaua e tineia koe. Waiho he mahi ahi mō tō kāenga.”
The above whakatauākī (proverb) is remembered as the words spoken by tipuna, elder sister Te Aopare to younger sister Hinerupe. This whakatauākī encapsulates warmth, a welcome home, and life of the hearth—a source of identity and connection, and anchors this exhibition for the artists.
