Tauira art exhibition Mai i Te Repo ki Te Ao Mārama opens
Tuesday to coincide with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa 30th Anniversary
Year celebrations.
Te Poutiaki Toi ‐ Art Collection curator Margaret Aull says the
exhibition acknowledges Toi (art) as a founding programme for
the wānanga.
Mai i Te Repo ki Te Ao Mārama – From The Swamp Into The Light
