Join us for an opening weekend Coffee & Croissants kōrero to welcome in Pohewa Pāhewa: Te Rūma with curator Zoe Black and designers who have contributed to the exhibition.

Zoe will share reflections on Pohewa Pāhewa: Te Rūma – the second exhibition in Objectspace’s series considering design within te ao Māori – and introduce contributors to share the thinking behind their work in the space. Speakers will be announced soon.
