Māui and Prometheus – heroes who brought light and knowledge to humankind – are explored through vibrant works that trace themes of ingenuity, resilience and cultural wisdom.
Drawing on Māori pūrākau and classical myth, Barlow reflects on stories that continue to shape art, ethics and our relationship with the natural world.
