Te Kokomea
Te Kokomea, seeks to explore the relationship between the paeātea and paewhenua and its complex, generative, diverse and active entanglements that both dissect and interconnect within the two planes.
An acknowledgement of taonga tuku iho shared within the Tai o Hī Tai o Hā wānanga and the respective mātanga. Te Kokomea can be considered as a whakatauāki - recalling the significance of taiao in understanding ancestral connections to materials, techniques and knowledge that form these living and enduring traditions.
