Te Toki Haruru (NZ)
Ko Te Ākau is a visual arts installation and curated performance program for live and virtual spaces. The project references the collaborative works of artists Ralph Hotere and Bill Culbert and serves as the inspiration for the Ākau, where the ocean meets the land, the horizon connects land, water and sky. The project is a meeting place of difference and the formation of new spaces to explore the performance of community, movement, poetry and ancestral bodies.
