Ahi Kā
Wellington City Council2020 / Storybox
Ahi Kā – Keep the Home Fires Burning was a massive projection show across the side of Te Papa Tongarewa, produced by Storybox for Wellington City Council’s third annual Matariki Ki Pōneke festival in July 2020. It was created in partnership with the Council’s Mana Whenua partners, Te Papa and Streamliner productions.
I worked with a power house of creatives on this project and had the privilege of illustrating a range of Māori elements for it.
