Mauri Ora celebrates the spiritual essence that gives life to all things.
The exhibition embraces the notion that materiality is a core element in the subject matter and approach explored by Maori artists today.
It will showcase the diversity of Maori cultural expression through a range of mediums, materials and techniques used in the pursuit of new creative horizons within an ever-changing world.
