He Mihi
Haere mai ki te hui
Whakairo te kupu ō whakaaro
Ngā hua o Papatūānuku
Mai rā anō te tangata i waihanga
Anamata e

Come let us gather
Carve your thoughts in words set free
Of the enduring progeny of Mother Earth
From times past the creative ones
And into the future

Kei te pūtahitanga o ngā mahi toi, o ngā mahi hoahoa, o ngā mahi hoahoa whare me ngā mahi haratau a Te Ara Hihiko “the creative pathway” nā Jacob Scott (Ngāti Raukawa, Te Arawa, Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Āti Awa) rāua ko Jason Kendrick. Ka tūhura tēnei whakaaturanga i te mātauranga, ngā tikanga o mua me ngā āhuatanga whakatutuki i te āhua ki te whakaoti rapanga me te rapa whakautu e hihiko ai te wairua.

Ka whakaatu a He Pānui i te mahi hou a Scott rāua ko Kendrick. Ki konei piri ai te whakairo ki ngā hangarau hou me ngā rawatoi tukurua. Ka tūhuritia te tuku ihotanga o tēnei mea te auahatanga - ngā pūrākau hei kōrero, ngā tāngata hei mihi, tae atu ki ngā wāhi me ngā tikanga hei wānanga, i a tātau ka hāpai i tō tātau ahurea i ngā āhuatanga e toitū ai te āpōpō.

Operating at the intersections of art, design, architecture and craft, Te Ara Hihiko “the creative pathway” is the work of Jacob Scott (Ngāti Raukawa, Te Arawa, Ngāti Kahungunu, Te Āti Awa) and Jason Kendrick. This exhibition explores knowledge, past practices, and ways of doing things, to solve problems and find answers activating the creative spirit.

He Pānui presents Scott and Kendrick’s recent work where whakairo meets new technologies and reused materials. It explores traditions of innovation – the stories to tell, people to be acknowledged and places and practices to consider, as we evolve our culture through the contributions we make to building sustainable futures.
