Location: Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon

Anniversary of the invasion of Parihaka

On 5 November 1881, over 1500 colonial troops and their Māori allies invaded the village of Parihaka near the Taranaki coast. Many people were expelled, buildings destroyed, and rangatira Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi were jailed.

Dr Rachel Buchanan in conversation with Hon Mahara Okeroa

Join Taranaki kaumātua and Treaty negotiator Hon Mahara Okeroa (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa) and Dr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa), author of BWB Text Ko Taranaki Te Maunga, at the National Library for the anniversary of te pāhuatanga, the invasion of Parihaka.

Mahara Okeroa grew up at Parihaka and his kuia, Te Ngoungou, was one of te hunga ririki children who met the invading police and soldiers in 1881.

Rachel and Mahara will discuss their own connection to Taranaki and the lasting impact of confiscation, sharing a kōrero on the apologies and settlements that have taken place since the invasion.

This event will be chaired by Dr Maria Bargh (Te Arawa and Ngati Awa), Head of School, Te Kawa a Māui, Victoria University.

Refreshments will be served after the event.

This event is part of the BWB Winter Series. BWB gratefully acknowledges the support of Creative New Zealand.

Monday – Let’s Make Art with Margaret and Melissa Cost: $95 from Monday 29 October - 17 December 2018 running 4- 5.30pm.

Suitable for 9 years and above. This class focuses on developing a wide range of creative and technical skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and textile art. In Term 4 we will be exploring how to use watercolour and zentangles to create interesting paintings, we will also explore mixed media and paint on thick canvas paper in the style of German Abstract artists Gerhard Richter. And finally we will make clay sculptures of Roman style columns and distance markers, that we later paint based on the Antonine Wall built across Scotland well before Hadrian’s Wall. The work is very experimental and all materials required are included in the fee.



And:

Thursday – Let’s Make Art with Julie Cost: $95 from Thursday 25 October until 13 December 2018 running from 4-5.30pm.

Suitable for children 8 years and above. This is a fun and very creative art class in which children are encouraged to draw, colour, paint, and explore different media and techniques. This term we will be doing pottery, printmaking and some other fun crafty/arty things.
