On Thursday 20 October 2022 the Tuwhare Trust and The Dunedin Public Art Gallery partnered to pay tribute to Hone Tuwhare on the eve of his 100th birthday. Whanau and friends of Hone Tuwhare came together for a special evening of reminiscing and poetry with special guests Rob Tuwhare, Cilla McQueen and Tame Iti in conversation with Jeanette Wikaira from the Tuwhare Trust and joined by guest poets and artists, Tracey Tawhiao, Ati Teepa and Manaia Tuwhare-Hoani.
This is a great photo from the evening, of Manaia Tuwhare-Hoani performing her poetry for her Great Grandfather. It was a special evening.
Very special thanks to DPAG for making this event possible and for their on-going support of the Tuwhare Trust.
Nga mihi mahana.
