Kaaterina Kerekere

Collective(s):

Kaatarina Kerekere is a visual artist whose practice draws deeply on whakapapa, identity, and the landscapes of Tairāwhiti. Her work spans painting, installation, and collaborative projects, weaving together Māori histories and contemporary realities.

Fusing Māori concepts and traditions with a contemporary design aesthetic and digital technology, Kerekere, who is based in Ūawa, Tolaga Bay, has created her own visual language to explore themes of whakapapa (genealogy) and mātauranga tāwhito (ancient knowledge).
