Tae

E noho ana tātou i roto i tētahi ao kanapa o ngā atarangi me ngā tae kanapa. He mea nui te tae hei āwhina i a tātou ki te mārama ki te ao, e whakamahia ana e ngā kararehe mohoao, ngā tipu me te tangata hei whakawhitiwhiti kōrero. Ehara i te mea ko te tae anake te mea e kitea ana e tātou – he mea e pā ana ki a tātou, e hongi ana hoki i ētahi wā. He mana tōna ki te tohu ko wai tātou me ā tātou whakapono, ā, kei te ngākau o ētahi o ā tātou tikanga tuku iho tino pumau.

E whakakotahi ana tēnei whakaaturanga i ngā taonga neke atu i te 150, tae atu ki ngā toi, te pūtaiao, te taiao me ngā hītori ahurea. E tūhuratia ana tētahi ao whakamiharo o te tae – te āhua o tā tātou tirohanga, te āhua o tōna hanganga, te āhua o tōna whakamahinga me te āhua o te hononga o te tikanga ki a ia. Kei te whakaatuhia ngā mahi toi a Hokusai, Kandinsky, Bridget Riley me Andy Warhol me ngā tauira o ngā uku whakapaipai tino ataahua. Ko te kākahu karaniwha o Trinidad me te kākahu tangihanga o Wikitōria e whakaatu ana i te kaha o te tae ki te whakakī i ngā kākahu ki te tikanga ahurea, ā, ko ngā tauira o ngā whakapaipai koura o mua e whakaatu ana i te uara o te tae puta noa i ngā mano tau.

He whakaaturanga whānau-ā-whānau kī tonu i ngā taonga hihiri, ngā whakaaturanga taunekeneke me ngā whakaaturanga whakaaro-whakaaro, he wāhi tēnei ki te kite i te tae me tōna kororia katoa – haere mai kia miharo koe ki te whānuitanga o ngā mea ka taea!
