Robyn Kahukiwa (Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti, Ngāti Hau, Ngāti Konohi, Te Whānau-a-Ruataupare, Te Whānau-a-Te Aotawarirangi) is an internationally acclaimed artist whose work explores heritage, identity and rangatiratanga of Māori.
The kaupapa of her work ranges from exploring ideas surrounding colonisation, dispossession, motherhood, wellbeing, whakapapa, and tikanga Māori.
Her newest exhibition, Tuawahine, at Season Gallery centres images of wāhine Māori, emphasising mana wāhine and mana Māori motuhake.
Sofia spoke to co-curator of Season, Francis McWhannell, about the exhibition and Kahukiwa’s practice.
