A digital sound and visual experience that acts as a creative portal, Te Pito tells the story of connecting to our whenua (land) and ancestry.
A descendant of Te Āti-Awa with links to Whakatū, Keri-Mei Zagrobelna hopes Te Pito will encourage others seeking to reclaim identity and reconnections to whakapapa.
Keri-Mei Zagrobelna is a contemporary jewellery and visual artist based in Wellington. For Te Pito, she weaves her jewellery practice with the movement story telling of dancer Jahra ‘Ragar’ Wasasala into a short film, captured by videographer Pikihuia Haenga Shaw.
Presented with thanks to Arts Council Nelson and Nelson Jewellery Week.
Te Pito was developed with support from Creative New Zealand.
