Created by Indigenous storyteller Irihipeti Waretini, Māreikura - Ka rere te rongoā | the medicine flows explores traditional Māori sacredness, portraying a contemporary, dramatic showing of cultural practises and knowledge systems.
As part of the Culture Makers program, the exhibition is anchored by a carved pou (pillar) and features stunning photographic portraits of Māori women living in Naarm (Melbourne) with moko kauae (traditional chin tattoos), with additional installations of multimedia art, text film and soundscape.
The exhibition communicates the impacts colonial structures have had on the sacred feminine and spirituality, and a gentle reminder of the medicine Indigenous Matriarchs hold for the wellbeing of community, culture and land.
Please note: This exhibition is free for First Peoples communities on its opening weekend.
