Gifted by Sarah Vaki, elder and master tapa maker from Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas, the title of the exhibition translates as “heritage of our ancestors”. Vaiei Tupuna takes up these shared genealogies and histories of tapa to celebrate the vitality of the artform in the present, and to extend and build knowledge for the future. Hina, the atua of tapa makers, is present throughout Vaiei Tupuna. exhibitions art events museumsandgalleries vuw education Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.adamartgallery.nz/exhibitions/current/vaiei-tupuna Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery 2024-10-04T00:00:00Z -41.28858795 174.76903177744072 Adam Art Gallery, Hunter Car Park, Kelburn, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6145, New Zealand https://pablosart.org.nz/Events/Pablos%20Art%20Auction%202024%20is%20a%20GO%21 Pablos Art Studio is all on again this year for their annual art auction, a mainstay on Wellington's creative events calendar.
