WHAKARONGO WHAKARAUPŌ
Whakarongo Whakaraupō uses sound to explore connections between place and people, as well as different forms of creative expression, encouraging listening in and from its Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour location. The month-long group sonic art exhibition features work by Jake Kīanō Skinner, Motoko Kikkawa, Eves, Nicolas Woollaston, Helen Greenfield and Blair Parkes.
In Whakarongo Whakaraupō skilled Ōtautahi-based taonga pūoro player and musician, Jake Kīanō Skinner (Ngāti Rangitihi) presents an immersive sound installation. Using traditional Māori instruments and drawing inspiration from his Ngāti Rangitihi whakapapa, his multi-speaker work invites us to connect with the essence of Māori culture and the natural world.
