NUku offers a ceramic journey from an indigenous perspective and brings together both emergent and established artists as well as members of the Maori clay artist collective, Ng? Kaihanga Uku.
Combining the concept of nuku, uku and inherently referencing Papat??nuku, NUku is an exhibition of ceramics that celebrates collaboration and culture from an indigenous perspective. Whakapapa enriched, each artist brings their unique contribution, sharing a united passion. Together we are more.
Featuring: Baye Riddell, Wi Taepa, Carla Ruka, Amorangi Hikuroa, Stevei Houkamau, Hana Rakena, Alix Ashworth, Maria Brockhill, Tracy Darren Keith, Todd Douglas, Yvonne Tana.
Supported by Ng? Kaihanga Uku, the Karekare Residency Trust, and curated by Carla Ruka.
Registered as an incorporated society in 1965 by an enthusiastic group of potters in Wellington, New Zealand, Ceramics NZ has grown to become a significant international voice in New Zealand ceramics. The affiliation of about three dozen independent pottery clubs throughout New Zealand together with a number of corporate businesses greatly increases its effective membership. We are a national, not-for-profit organisation representing the interests of practising potters and ceramicists, students of ceramics and all those interested in New Zealand ceramics. We actively support and promote quality, and we encourage and support specialist ceramics education nationally.
