Objectspace are delighted to host a workshop with Neke Moa in connection with her current exhibition Ngā tirohanga whānui a Parehuia.

Neke will take participants through her making process and support them to make their own taonga from materials from te taiao (the natural world).

Tickes are $80. Spaces are limited and all materials will be provided.

This workshop will be preceded by a floor talk with Neke Moa at midday. Further details about this event are here

The practice of Neke Moa (Whare ā Papaīra, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Ahuriri, Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) seeks to promote hauora by deepening connections between tāngata, tohunga and atua. Her work centres on adornment and object-making, drawing heavily on materials found in the taiao and on customary and contemporary processes. She has exhibited throughout the Moana Oceania region and internationally, participating in such projects as HANDSHAKE (2010–22), Wunderrūma (2014–16) and the 2016 and 2024 Festivals of Pacific Arts and Culture. In 2023, she was awarded a prestigious Herbert Hofmann Prize at Munich Jewellery Week. Works by Moa are held in the collections of important institutions, including Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the Dowse Art Museum, and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. She is based in Ōtaki Beach, where many of her rauemi are gathered.
