We are excited to be launching a new pukapuka for rakatahi alongside our exhibition Whāia te Taniwha. Bring your whānau and let the writers take you on a haereka around Te Waipounamu as they read excerpts from their taniwha tales.

In this new book for rakatahi, twelve Kāi Tahu artists and writers follow the tales of taniwha, both ancient and new. Weaving together te reo Māori and English, they explore how we can learn from taniwha – and what they can teach us about ourselves and our ever-changing world.
