Exhibition Opening | Peata Larkin: Silent Kōrero

Join us to celebrate the opening of Silent Kōrero, a major new exhibition by artist Peata Larkin (Te Arawa, Tūhourangi, Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Tūwharetoa), on view 28 May – 16 August 2026 at The Arts House Trust.

Silent Kōrero is conceived as a gathering — a quiet hui of conversations that have unfolded in Peata Larkin’s studio over the past two decades. It brings together works created across time, uniting the past to the present. Each artwork carries the memory of the one before it, where the symbolism of tukutuku, tāniko and raranga operate as a personal and collective visual language and acts of reclamation. They embody knowledge and genealogy, and embrace the rhythms of the artist’s tūpuna, who wove, bound, and carved before her.

Everyone is welcome to join us and the artist on Thursday 28 May, 5.30–7.30pm at The Arts House Trust.
