Whetūrangitia

Amber Cullen, Kayceigh Green, Mya Lautaimi Henry, Lhani-Aroha Maagdenberg

This exhibition presents four Māori wāhine artists from Waitākere College bringing together visual art practices including photography, painting, sculpture and illustration to explore ideas connected to whānau, memory, and whakapapa.

Through personal narratives, symbolism, and contemporary image-making processes, the artists reflect on identity, connection, place, and intergenerational relationships. Their works draw from lived experiences and cultural knowledge to communicate stories that honour the past while speaking to the present.
