Kahukiwa returns to Sydney<\/p>\n
Robyn Kahukiwa\u2019s work has come full circle. The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia has opened My Ancestors Are Always with Me in Sydney, the city where the acclaimed M\u0101ori painter was born in 1938. It\u2019s the late artist\u2019s first major solo exhibition in Australia, running until February 7, 2027.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is a partnership between the MCA and Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhet\u016b. Kahukiwa\u2019s paintings consider M\u0101ori life, culture and politics, with a focus on the status of M\u0101ori women and the ongoing impacts of colonisation. They also speak to Indigenous experiences around the world, including the loss of land and language, migration and urbanisation. mca.com.au\/exhibitions\/robyn-kahukiwa<\/a><\/p>\n Nanuku for the win<\/p>\n Hundreds of thousands of travellers have voted, and a Fijian resort ranks among the region\u2019s best.

Every week at 8am from now until January 1, 2027, Mangawhero River Walk parkrun sends walkers, joggers and runners on a free 5km course through the heart of Ruapehu. Volunteers run the whole event. Entry is free, but you need to register with parkrun and bring a scannable copy of your barcode.<\/p>\n The out-and-back course starts at the corner of Mangawhero Terrace and Ayr Street. It follows the Mangawhero River over two bridges, including a swing bridge, to the Junction end of town. Expect birdsong and the sound of the river on a trail of crushed stone and wood chip, which can get muddy after rain. parkrun.co.nz\/mangawheroriverwalkohakune<\/a><\/p>\nRobyn Kahukiwa’s bold canvases take over Sydney’s MCA.<\/p>\n
