Opening Soon: Ming Ranginui

Season is delighted to present a new solo exhibition by Ming Ranginui (Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi). Best known for sculptural works incorporating whatu or tāniko and satin smocking, Ranginui bends customary fibres and contemporary fabrics to her will, using her distinctive visual and material sensibility to reimagine everyday entities.

Her works focus on the themes of tino rangatiratanga, spirituality, and survival. The pūrākau they express speak to her personal experiences but also reach out to the collective experiences of Indigenous people grappling with the generational impacts of colonisation.

The exhibition runs from Saturday 30 November to 21 December 2024. There is an opening celebration from 6 to 8pm on Friday 29 November. The artist will be in attendance and all are welcome.
