Kura Huna: The Art of Reweti Arapere – School Journal Level 3 May 2021

Reweti Arapere learnt that the art he wanted to make was the art that emerged when he looked at the world through his Māori eyes. His giant cardboard and felt-pen figures help him to tell the stories of his whakapapa and of Aotearoa.
