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.

Hotere.

By News

Hone Tuwhare and Ralph Hotere were good friends; their inde­pen­dent artis­tic careers unit­ed by a shared con­cern for human rights and injus­tice.  There was a mutu­al respect and moments of cross-pol­li­na­tion between the work of each. Hotere drew on Tuwhare’s poems in sev­er­al of his paint­ings, also con­tribut­ing cov­er designs for a num­ber of Tuwhare’s vol­umes of poet­ry.  In 1970 Tuwhare released the book Come Rain Hail, which includ­ed the poem Hotere – a reflec­tion on art, friend­ship, time and space. In Novem­ber 2020 the Dunedin Pub­lic Art Gallery opened the exhi­bi­tion RALPH HOTERE: ATETE (to resist) and pub­lished the poem Hotere on the Gallery’s BIG WALL

Tuwhare Trustees Rob Tuwhare and Jeanette Wikaira attend­ed the exhi­bi­tion open­ing, it was a very spe­cial evening and a breath­tak­ing exhibition.
