Kā Kōrero o Waikirikiri Selwyn Stories

Te Ara Ātea heritage exhibitions, 2021

Description

NameTe Ara Ātea heritage exhibitions, 2021DescriptionOur Heritage exhibition cases at Te Ara Ātea celebrate the rich history across the Selwyn District, in four sets of exhibition cases. The five small cases in the Community Lounge display ā matou kōrero kai, our place in food, while the five cases in the stairwell, tō tātou nei aroha or love in the district, tell individual stories of endeavours made 'for the love of ...'. The five cases incorporated within our Te Waka Huia space on level one hold a series of taonga, items that have precious connections to people of our community. Finally, the six large cases around the perimeter of level one of Te Ara Ātea are multi-layered, telling up to three stories at once.

This collection is about the opening suite of exhibitions in these cases, launched in December 2021, developed by Workshop E. From our Ngāi Tahu and Pākehā ancestors was told the story of the epic journey of 'Crossing the Southern Alps/Kā Tiritiri o te Moana'. We also exhibited stories about local mana wāhine such as Cath Brown and Mata Kukae from Taumutu runanga. Stories of our military and mining heritage and pioneers like the Deans family and their pottery works are also included, along with the local heroes who lovingly restored Liffey Cottage in Lincoln's heritage precinct.
