Exhibition Opening
Peata Larkin: Silent Kōrero
Join us to celebrate the opening of Peata Larkin’s upcoming exhibition, on view 28 May – 16 August 2026.
Silent Kōrero is conceived as a gathering - a quiet hui of conversations that have unfolded in Peata Larkin’s studio over the past two decades. It brings together works created across time, uniting the past to the present. Each artwork carries the memory of the one before it, where the symbolism of tukutuku, tāniko and raranga operate as a personal and collective visual language and acts of reclamation. They embody knowledge and genealogy, and embrace the rhythms of the artist’s tūpuna, who wove, bound, and carved before her.
