Mr G’s final ‘HOME’ artwork “Kotahitanga” embodies the essence of Waitangi Day

University of Waikato - Tauranga

"Kotahitanga is a word that gets used so flippantly these days and I really don't want it to lose the power and mana that the word carries." - Mr G, speaking at the mural presentation of his latest artwork.

Thanks to the staff, students, friends and whānau who joined us today for the unveiling of Mr G's mural, "Kotahitanga", to Matua Tamati for the karakia. Mihi to Jake Angus for presenting our koha to Mr and Mrs G too

We can't wait for Trimester A to begin to see the reaction of our tauira and wider campus community, when they engage with this incredible piece.

Mr G, of all the 'canvasses' in Tauranga Moana, thank you for choosing ours. We have enjoyed having you and Milly on campus and look forward to seeing you both again.

Tauranga City Council, mihi to Gareth and Reena, thank you for your support and the partnership that has seen this final piece of the 'HOME' exhibition come to fruition.

And finally, thank you Joseph Macfarlane and Marcelle Wharerau for all your mahi in making this happen.

Come and check out the mural whenever you're around our CBD Campus!

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
