A fallen 900-year-old Tōtara tree extracted from Wakamoekau Creek will be used for whakairo (traditional Māori carving) by Wairarapa artists to be displayed at Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre’s education building.
Tauranga-based artist Cordula Taiwo is set to open her exhibition, "Of a Wild God," at Thistle Hall, intentionally overlapping with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ Wellington concerts (Feb 5 & 6). This sophisticated body of work is a deeply personal creative response to Nick Cave’s music, his public correspondence (The Red Hand Files), and his published conversations (Faith, Hope and Carnage).
