Home : Kura Tawhiti Pou Whenua
The pou whenua were installed as part of an upgrade to protect the cultural values of Kura Tawhiti and celebrate the important site. A collaboration between Ngāi Tūāhuriri whānui and The Department of Conservation. The three pou whenua are part of an upgrade to the site designed by Riki Manuel and Fanye Robinson, along with new information panels to better narrate the Ngāi Tūāhuriri/Ngāi Tahu history in the area. Ngāi Tūāhuriri is the local hapū, holding rangatiratanga over Kura Tawhiti/Castle Hill.
As in any project of this scale Art Fetiche can provide a range of services and specific applications to enhance the final outcome. With skilled in-house operators and state of the art tech, we add value to the overall impact of a project.
