News: research trip to Hawai‘i
In June, Billie Lythberg (Associate Investigator) and Emily Parr (Post-Doc) visited Hawai‘i for the Artefacts of Relations project.
For our September Vā Kōrero, we invited guests to listen and respond to the experimental sonic project we have been working on, ‘Logo ī Pūlotu’. We were hosted by Te Wai Ngutu Kākā gallery, whose name was recently gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. The players meditated on the wall pattern referencing the ngutu kākā flower, a tohu of turning seasons. They responded to Albert Wendt’s poem, ‘Inside Us the Dead’. Fa'afetai tele lava to our hosts, our players, and our guests.
