Multi-disciplinary
DESCRIPTION
A Māori artist of Ngāi Tāmanuhiri and Ngāti Porou descent, Kauri Hawkins explores contemporary Aotearoa through a Māori lens. His multidisciplinary practice—spanning sculpture, performance, and digital media—repurposes industrial materials like road signs and high-visibility gear to critique colonial narratives and power structures.
