This weekend sees the official launch of our Hongi's Hikoi series of bicentennial commemorative events and educational initiatives, with this Saturday's Hongi's Hikoi: Tales through Taonga event at the Chau Chak Wing Museum in the Sydney University Precinct.

Our event will see the author present two lectures (with an exhibition of replica taonga), a historical short film, the publication of his children's book (English and Maori versions), as well as a journal article, and a PhD-style research paper - all focusing on the 1814 and 1820 journeys by Hongi Hika, to Australia and England respectively.


The event will comprise of an Aboriginal Wuyugil (smoking/cleansing ceremony), a karanga, a waerea, a modern powhiri, kapahaka, and a hakari.


Purakau Productions, Chau Chak Wing Museum, Humanity Services, and the author, are proud to present this project; which will then travel from Sydney, Australia, to Te Tai Tokerau, Aotearoa New Zealand, in July 2022.


This is a private event with limited capacity (Covid guidelines), with guests having received invitations and registering.

Vendo cerámica y fotografío en la mesa de la cocina, así que la luz cambia cada hora y las fotos nunca casan entre sí. Ahora paso todas por la misma herramienta para que la galería se vea uniforme. Ese fue el beneficio real, no que cada foto quedara espectacular sino que las ocho parecieran del mismo día.
