Ruruku Waka Workshop
Join us in making mini waka from traditional and contemporary resources, have a go at making waka taura (four-plait rope), and have your photo taken with Kuramātakitaki waka!
Be inspired by Ruruku: an exhibition by Hauteruruku ki Puketeraki waka club celebrating kaupapa waka with visual storytelling and taoka from Hauteruruku ki Puketeraki, a community and whānau-based waka club based in Karitāne. Named for the community-led Ruruku Project which brought to life the club’s third traditional sailing waka, Kuramātakitaki, the show celebrates waka, raraka, and honoka across Te Waipounamu, Aotearoa and Te Moananui-a-Kiwa, and the revival of waka traditions in the 21st century.
