Celebrating 500 Years as an Eat Street
Taurima - Neon Artworks
Suspended above Elliott Street
Till 20 October

You will see pātaka kai (food storehouse) symbolism suspended above the street in quirky fluoro-neon art created by Lissy Robinson-Cole (Ngāti Kahu and Ngāti Hine), Rudi Robinson-Cole (Waikato, Ngaruahine, Ngāti Pāoa, Te Arawa), Ataahua Papa (Ngāti Korokī Kahukura, Ngāti Mahuta), and Angus Muir Design.

Taurima marks the street’s origins in hospitality. In 1987, archaeologists found evidence in Elliott Street indicating people had harvested and provided food there since the 1500s.
