Every month brings new ways to experience Toi Art. Join us for free talks, performances, and hands-on activities that connect you with the artworks and exhibitions.
This month: Kōrero pūrākau are threaded through four decades of Hāriata Rōpata-Tangahoe’s paintings, which hover between Te Ao Mārama, the world of light, and Te Pō, the realm of night and death.
Join us for this special artist talk with Hāriata and Te Papa curator Megan Tamati-Quennell, which will take place in the exhibition Kōrero Pūrākau | Telling Stories.
