Tāwaha ki Te Ao Mārama is the newest mural at Ākau Tangi by Len Hetet (Te Āti Awa, Taranaki Whānui) and Manukorihi Winiata (Ngati Raukawa, Te Āti Awa, Ngati Awa, Tūwharetoa), comprising of a series of giant gold, blue and green auripo, circular forms or whirlpools, that ripple out across a 100-metre black wall facing the sports centre.
Len says visualising stories is an important way to educate people and to uplift the prominence and mana of space and place. For this project, the artwork uplifts Ākau Tangi. “Tāwaha ki Te Ao Mārama speaks to the cultural heritage of this area, the narrative expressed through design, form, and colour. Integrating art into the environment enables us, Te Āti Awa – Taranaki Whānui, to articulate our heritage, traditions, and spiritual connections back to te taiao. Artworks act as powerful enablers, connecting the past to the present.”
