# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The voice of Te Whanganui manga: Opening day artist talk
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 01:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join artists Tihikura Hohaia, Alex Monteith and Maree Sheehan as they introduce their major new project Whiria ko te iwi tuna.


Together, the artists will speak to the development of their collaborative relationship and the process of gathering images and field recordings over many years; ongoing legislative failures which undermine efforts to enact kaitiakitanga; and the project’s ambition to amplify the submerged voices of the beings who inhabit this manga, thereby recognising their sovereignty.


Through immersive visual and sonic storytelling, Whiria ko te iwi tuna gives form to the underwater lifeworlds of Te Whanganui—a manga in the rohe of Ngāti Moeahu, which meets Te Moana-taapokopoko-a-Tāwhaki  near the western-most point of Taranaki. Focussing on the ngutuawa—the last 100-meters of the manga before it meets the sea—this body of water experiences the cumulative impacts of more than a century and a half of settler-colonial land and water mismanagement.
