Maungarongo Te Kawa (Ngāti Porou) is a takatāpui fabric artist, educator, and storyteller. Grounded in te ao Māori, his practice makes old pūrākau (stories) newly relevant using brilliant colour, fluid design and infectious good humour.
Following a vibrant career in fashion and costume design, Te Kawa dedicated himself to fulltime artmaking and teaching. In addition to producing his own lavish whakapapa quilts, he runs sewing workshops, guiding participants to express their creativity and genealogy through fabric.
Te Kawa’s works are held in a wide range of private and public collections, including those of Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, the Dowse Art Museum, and the University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau.
