Join us at 1pm on Saturday 15 March for an art-making workshop with Maungarongo Te Kawa, who will be sharing how to create a 'sparkle guardian' original work of art. We will be providing sticker board textiles and scissors for quick making, but feel free to bring along old textiles to upcycle.

This event is free to attend and all ages are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided.

Te Kawa's Rutu, Rongo and Rita explores the themes of skin colour politics in Aotearoa’s past, present, and future. The exhibition runs through to 29 Poutūterangi March.

Maungarongo Te Kawa is a contemporary takatāpui fabric artist, tutor, and storyteller. Grounded in te ao Māori, his practice makes old pūrākau newly relevant to modern life through the use of brilliant colour, fluid design, and infectious good humour.
