Two rivers calling: Paemanu Collective at APT11
Until recently, our kōrero (knowledge and narratives) were held entirely in oral tradition and in multitudes of toi (art). Carving, weaving, tā moko, drawing, song. Embedded in the sensorial. In speech, our kōrero lives in the air. It vibrates in chorus with the forest, the calls of birds. The rhythms of our stories and histories are whispered in time with the trickling, then roaring chatter of rivers cascading from the mountains to the sea: ki uta ki tai.
