MAHI TOI

WAHARAVEXX

Mēnā, he ātea te papa kanikani ko wai ngā atua hei rangatira ki roto i te waharave nei?

I te kore, ka kanapunapu te hinātore mai i te kēkē o Papatūānuku.

Whakapaoro te oro nguru mai i te puku o Ruaumoko hei rongoā mō te whenua. Mai i te korokoro o te waha nei, he karanga hiko.

If the dancefloor is a place for our worries to be left, who rules in this domain?

In the void, the phosphorous glows from the armpit of Papatūānuku. Bass echoes from the belly of Ruaumoko, healing the land. From the throat of this mouth the karanga is electric.

      HE PIKO HE TANIWHA RAU!
      Anahera-Jade is a moana maker/ringatoi Māori. Her work has evolved to intersect rave culture, resistance and te ao Māori. An enchanting and punk-led style with industrial references to ancestral technology and māori futurisms. She leans into world-building for Te Ara i Whiti 2025, offering a hypnotic sound and force-fuelled installation work. Always pono!
