# Event Details

- **Event Name**: RNZ Podcast launch – Pūtātara: Revolutions in Māori Art
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 am – Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: Join us to celebrate the upcoming launch of new limited series podcast, Pūtātara: Revolutions in Māori Art.

Hosted by Matariki Williams and produced by Jamie Tahana, Pūtātara dives into the sociopolitical context around which Māori art has evolved and revolved, opening with the first Ngā Puna Waihanga hui in Te Kaha in 1973, and taking us right up to 2025.

We journey with artists to the landmark show Te Maori opening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1984, the opening of Te Papa in 1998, along with key events that have offered new ways of thinking about Māori art.

Critically, the podcast examines the role of the museum and the gallery – then and now – and explores what Māori artists aspire to in 2026 and beyond. 

Pūtātara joins Tukua and Orators Anonymous as part of a trio of arts and culture podcasts commissioned through a Creative New Zealand, NZ On Air, and RNZ co-fund, in response to the New Mirrors research, which focused on how we might strengthen arts and culture media in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Doors open at 5:30pm, for a 6:00pm start. A complimentary drink will be provided per person. Please RSVP via the Eventbrite page.
