Current video

Noel Meek and Jake Kīanō Skinner, Rua Kōhatu / Two Stones

Digital video, sound, 7 minutes 45 seconds

12 March – 22 April

Two artists explore a bicultural relationship through stone, a material used in both traditional taonga pūoro and experimental music. Between images of the artists activating the stones through percussive tapping, we see text from the poem “Thoughts On A Sufi Proverb” by Hone Tuwhare (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Korokoro, Ngāti Tautahi, Te Popote, Uri-O-Hau).

Noel Meek (Pākehā) and Jake Kīanō Skinner (Ngāti Rangitihi, Tūhoe) are artists based in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Hone Tuwhare poetry used with permission.
