The Taurapa.. How and Why?

  • WAKA LANDING SITE (NEXT TO THE TAURAPA) IN RUTHERFORD PARK Paru Paru Road Nelson, Nelson, 7010 New Zealand (map)

Free. Bookings required maia.hegglun@gmail.com

The Taurapa Sculpture has been a significant feature on the Maitai in Whakatufor several years now. Artist and maker, Maia Hegglun explains: Tena koutou. Often when people are talking to me about the Taurapa, they refer to it as ‘your sculpture’. The irony here was that it was made for you! I will be speaking to the process from logistics through to the story that it stands for.

I will cover some FAQs and venture into a korero around public Art and its pertinence to the Cultural identity which we all participate. I would love to hear any questions that you have, share the space and korero about ‘your sculpture’. The venue is outdoors so dress appropriately.

Rain date: Sunday 20th April same time.
