Maungarongo Te Kawa (b.1969, Ngāti Porou) is a takatāpui
fabric artist who produces elaborate quilts and sculptures
grounded in te ao Māori. Whakapapa and pūrākau are
central to Te Kawa’s practice, which he brings to life using
vibrant colour and stylised forms. During the exhibition
Te Kawa will run workshops at Te Uru, guiding participants
to express their creativity and genealogy through fabric.
