This summer New Zealand’s Māori culture will take center stage from July 22-30 at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.
Through nine days of immersive programming, Tuku Iho | Living Legacy will feature, Tā moko – the art of Māori tattoo, carving demonstrations, Kapa haka – a traditional form of Māori performing arts, workshops and discussions with artists and performers against a backdrop of more than 70 Māori artworks handcrafted by students and teachers from the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.
Tuku Iho will certainly inspire. We hope you’ll join us for this exciting experience!
