Ihirangaranga: Creation & Connection


Thursday 13 August to Saturday 5 September

Venue: Te Whare Tapere, Cloisters Studio, Maker Workshop, and Altiora

Inspired by the whakaaro of ihirangaranga, the programme explores sound as a source of connection—carrying memory, wellbeing and stories across generations. Through an exhibition, live performances, wānanga, film and community events, the programme brings together ringatoi, musicians, practitioners and communities to celebrate the many expressions of Māori creativity.
