WaiTĀha: The Art of Peace

A Waitaha art and film exhibition featuring a range of contemporary artists by Waitaha whānau and friends, this exhibit showcases several films and multiple artworks including paintings, photography, music, sculptures, jewellery and taoka pūoro (traditional musical instruments). 

This exhibit celebrates Waitahataka, the unique and enduring peace-based culture of Waitaha, the First Nations People who have called Te Waipounamu home for over a millennium.

Thank you to the Waitaki Creative Communities Scheme.
