120 - Te Rā with the Early Māori Textiles Team

120 - Te Rā with the Early Māori Textiles Team

Author: Thomas Rillstone September 22, 2023 Duration: 58:01

A very exciting interview with the team that brought home the only known pre-European Māori sail from the British Muesum. We talk about not just Te Rā herself but also the process of talking to the British Museum and organising the exhibition along with the responses from the New Zealand public.


You can see Te Rā in the Christchurch Art Gallery until October 2023 at which point she will be moved to the Auckland War Memorial Museum for the forseeable future.
