Collection by:

He Oranga Ngākau, He Pikinga Wairua explores themes of well-being and cultural revival, drawing inspiration from “Ora: Healing Ourselves” by Linda Tuhiwai Smith and Leonie Pihama. The collection reclaims and Indigenizes colonial clothing in three narratives that reflect traditional cosmologies: from darkness symbolizing potential, to light representing fruition, and ultimately, a celebration of life.
