'Gently Ribbed' is a playful installation by Turumeke Harrington, presented with accompanying writing and discussion led by Tini Whetū and collaborators.
He toi puni ngangahau a Āta Rarai nā Turumeke Harrington, i whakaatu mai ki te taha o ōna hoa tuhi, o ōna hoa matapaki kua ārahina e te kāhui o Tini Whetū.
This exhibition takes Harrington’s voluminous, snaking patchwork as an invitation to reflect on domestic labour, Māori cosmology and moving through life.
He tono tēnei whakaaturanga o te mahi raurarahi me te kōpurepure kōpikopiko ā Harrington hei whakahuritao i te mahi ā-kāinga, te mātai tuārangi me te whakakokenga oranga.
Tuarangi! Ake! Ake! Ake!
