International Indigenous exhibition opens at Pātaka

Porirua City Council

The winter exhibition season at Pātaka Art + Museum has begun, with the beautiful Naadohbii: To Draw Water opening earlier this month.

This exhibition, produced as a partnership between Museums Victoria, Winnipeg Art Gallery and Pātaka, explores Indigenous relationships with water, and is on display until 29 October.

It brings together contemporary Indigenous artwork from Turtle Island in Canada, Aotearoa, and many First Peoples nations of Australia, illustrating an axis of solidarity between Indigenous peoples across the globe.

Naadohbii means ‘to draw or seek water’ in the Anishinaabemowin language of the First Peoples of Canada. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition and is for sale at Pātaka.
