The art of Māori weaving, under threat 40 years ago, is celebrating its survival against overwhelming odds in a world first exhibition, Te Puna Waiora: The Distinguished Weavers of Te Kāhui Whiritoi.
Two years in the making, this major exhibition opened at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū on Saturday.
