About the event

TUI HOBSON - Vairaka Pou Unveiling and Blessing followed by an Artist Talk
Artist TUI HOBSON will unveil the much anticipated 3-meter Vairaka Pou on Friday, 19 September, at 6 pm. Lining the tāhuhu spine of Te Marae o te Umu Kai o Hau, the Vairaka Pou will be the first contemporary carving created by a woman at Pātaka.

Aue te manea! We can't wait!

Turou, Oro Mai! 'Aere Mai! All Welcome!

TUI HOBSON is one of a handful of contemporary Vāhine carvers of Kuki Airani descent. A practicing sculptor with over 30 years of experience, Tui is the recipient of the Pacific Aniva Arts Residency Award, a partnership between Pātaka Art+Museum and Creative New Zealand Toi Aotearoa for 2025.
