Te Rerenga o Muriwai

Creators Karan and Goldsmith combine their skills in virtual reality and sonic-scape storytelling to reconnect past and present generations. The artwork focuses on Muriwai (ancestress), viewed from the first-person perspective of her descendant, 16-year-old Muriwai Mikaere, daughter of Goldsmith. Muriwai was a powerful wahine of great mana and a renowned voyager across Aotearoa and Te Moananui a Kiwa (Pacific Ocean). Her name and stories are well-known and reach many hapu and iwi through-out Aotearoa.
