Tuku Iho show returns to China
The Tuku Iho Living Legacy show has returned to China, opening at Shanghai’s Powerstation of Art in time for New Zealand Week.
The week celebrates this country and showcases premium products to Chinese consumers, and brings the China New Zealand Year of Tourism to a close..
The exhibition of traditional and contemporary artworks was developed by the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute in Rotorua as a way to open doors for tourism and trade.
General manager Eraia Kiel says China was the first place the exhibition was shown in 2013, and it is an honour to return six years later and show how it has evolved as it has travelled around the world.
He says Tuku Iho is about connecting people and cultures, and Māori culture seems to transcend boundaries.
Tuku Iho will be on display in Shanghai until November 15.
