On the 31st of January, we gathered under the Tamatea Whakapu moon for the premiere of URBAN TANIWHA, a collaborative film response to the weavings and wānanga of Wheke Fortress’ Te Kura Raumati curriculum. A fractured offering of image and sound, this experimental film features seven indigenous artists navigating te ao hurihuri (the ever-changing world) — connecting to te taiao, finding comfort in the shade of skyscrapers, and learning histories of a presence now dwelling beneath concrete.
