Every week on Culture 101 we invite a guest to share their love of culture and shout out to other artists. This week it's actor, director and producer Te Kohe Tuhaka (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Porou).
Tuhaka is one of nine actors on stage in the final instalment of 2023’s M9: He Mataaho ki Te Ao Whakaari - Whānau, Feeds and Fame on November 16 in Tāmaki Makaurau. Each actor shares their upbringing and journey, and the realities of being creatives in their communities.
Tuhaka is a seasoned on-screen performer, with his latest reality series, Haututū Hunters on Whakataa Māori. A down-to-earth, light-hearted documentary-style show, it features four Māori and Pasifika city slickers with no bush or sea skills relying on their drive, natural skills, each other and friends to help them hunt for kai and reconnect with their roots.
In the first episode, Te Kohe Tuhaka takes them back to Tūhoe country.
