Season is honoured to present Takoto ai te marino: Te hokinga mai by Raukura Turei (Ngā Rauru Kītahi, Taranaki Iwi, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki). The works in the show explore and embody connections to tīpuna. They have been created using pigments harvested from sites to which Turei is tied by whakapapa and whānau history, including Te Tai-o-Rehua and Tīkapakapa Moana.
Takoto ai te Marino was first presented at the Dowse Art Museum in 2023 and travelled to the Suter Art Gallery Te Aratoi o Whakatū this year. It now returns to Tāmaki Makaurau, the artist's home, where the works were made and many of the materials gathered. The exhibition runs from 30 October to 23 November 2024. There is a public celebration on Saturday 2 November starting at 5pm.
