The Art Exhibition 'Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori' opened tonight which celebrates Ngatihine artists to coincide with the Ahuareka Festival.

Curated by Te Hemoata Henare, Lorrainne King and Tash Nikora, 'Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori' is at Kings theatre in Kawakawa and the Ahuareka festival starts this weekend.

All artwork was capped at $250 which gives whanau an opportunity to purchase something...awesome kaupapa we should do this regularly.


Amongst the artists tonight were kids from Te Kāpehu Whetu who made these tukutuku panels with Raewyn Tipene and Maia Cooper.



The Ahuareka festival is an opportunity to celebrate our uniqueness, our reo, our kapa, our tamariki and kura, our whanaungatanga. I seriously need to make some ajustments in my life and make my reo a priority. Attending each festival fills my heart, the bubbling reo of our kuia and kaumatua sounds like a stream humming in the forset on a sunny day. Its like no other reo for me. Its so warming.

The komiti for the festival purchased a set of Pou waka on exhibit which I was selling on behalf the my Marae Miria

The final grade calculator is a great way to stay motivated throughout the semester. It shows you that your goals are achievable if you put in the right effort. This sense of direction makes studying more meaningful and less overwhelming. I highly recommend using it regularly to track your progress and adjust your strategy when needed.

I really liked how this post captured the spirit of the festival—it feels lively and full of creativity. Content like this is always refreshing to read, and during small pauses I sometimes play Slope Game, as it’s a simple browser-based game with no downloads required.
