Modern twist on Maori weaving

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 4 August 2022

The art of Raranga, or Māori weaving, is one of our most sacred traditions.

We've all seen the technique used to create things like mats, rourou or food baskets, and kete, but in a new exhibition, artist and weaver Anna Hayes is presenting a slightly more modern take.

In 'Apato', she showcases woven objects like golf club covers, surfboard bags and a guitar case.

Anna Hayes speaks to Jesse.
