Whakapapa quilts: finding connections, empowerment and hope
Starting May 25, Taupō Museum is hosting an exhibition by Maungarongo Te Kawa (Ngāti Porou), an artist, storyteller, quilter and fashion designer.
His whakapapa quilts are based on the traditional concepts of te whare pora, the creative zone, waipunarangi, the source of creativity and hine te iwaiwa, the energy of nature.
“These traditional concepts are also used by people like indigenous midwives, weavers, artists and healers. They are part of living a whole, healthy, vital life,” Te Kawa said.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
