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.

Te Ataarangi is a te reo Māori language revitalisation programme. The artists featured are current students from diverse backgrounds, based across Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, and the top of the South Island.

He kaupapa tēnei e whakakotahi ana i ngā ringarehe o Te Ataarangi o Te Upoko o Te Ika  ki te whakaatu atu i ō rātou ake haerenga ki te ako i te reo Māori.

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.
