Te Heketanga a Rangi - Heavenly Origins

A solo exhibition by: Tāne Te Manu McRoberts

Our descent from the heavens, woven through time, each stitch generating the mana behind Ngā Atua Māori. 

Te Heketanga a Rangi is presented through a mix of traditional and contemporary weaving, Poi and digital designs inspired by Māori and Pacifica histories and genealogies.

"E kore au e ngaro, he kākano i ruia mai i Rangiātea." 

'I shall never be lost, I am a seed sown from Rangiātea.'
