Weaving Workshop with Ahi Nyx  (She/her, They/Them, Te Āti Awa me Ngāti Raukawa) 

We want to create art with you this Matariki! Join our small raranga wānanga where we will create pōha (nets) used to throw our whetū into rangi to be installed as living art at Tautai.

Work with others to create a large piece or create your own pōha. This are our way to raranga us all together this Matariki season.

Registrations are essential. Spaces limited. Send us an email at gallery@tautai.org or click the button below to secure your spot!

About Ahi Nyx:

Ahi Nyx - She/ Her/ They Them (Te Āti Awa me Ngāti Raukawa) is a Tāmaki Makaurau based artist and the Director/Creator of Ahi Raranga Ltd. Known for hand woven harakeke toanga and raranga wānanga, she is extending her practice to help reconnect to traditional Māori harvesting practices. 

Her creativity comes from a deep spiritual connection to Papatūānuku and Taneatua. Through her whakapapa, she holds onto raranga practices which she continues to weave with mana. Her haerenga through raranga has healed and reconnected her and many others through wānanga and the woven pieces that she makes.

Her mahi toi is purposeful living art stating: "Our creations with harakeke are an act of decolonisation, removing our reliance on mass produced products ."
