This will also be the final opportunity to join Lyall Hakaraia as they work on a kākahu for Takatāpui activist Georgina Beyer. Members of the community are invited to drop-in to see Lyall at work and help with the making and application of the hukahuka tassels to the korowai.

‘The Water Tasters Different Here’ by In*ter*is*land Collective is the creative group’s first exhibition in Aotearoa New Zealand and presents new work by Jessica Palalagi, Aj Fata, Jaq Brown, Lady Shaka, Lyall Hakaraia, Ariana Davis and Momoe i manu ae ala atea'e Tasker. A love letter to the group of self-proclaimed misfits, ‘The Water Tastes Different Here’ reflects the experience of moving from one world to another and paints a picture of London that has been so formative for each member in the Collective. The exhibition reflects on the group’s collective history, connecting back to Aotearoa through making and sharing new work, including print, photography, video and music.
