Weavers of Te Ataarangi honours those who have nurtured and shared te reo Māori through the Te Ataarangi movement over the past five decades. It also acknowledges a whakapapa of language revitalisation and celebrates the deep artistry embedded in teaching, weaving together mātauranga, visual storytelling, and te reo Māori.

The exhibition runs for two weeks. It speaks through fibre, form, and kōrero tuku iho, highlighting the enduring presence of te reo Māori—not only in spoken language, but also in weaving, patterns, and the aspirations of our people. Visitors are invited to take part in a bilingual beginner weaving programme and contribute to the co-creation of an art installation using harakeke.

Paul’s art is a reflection of the inspiration he feels when he paints and the creative use of the colours which often are a combination of guess work and intuition.
