Tutu Fingers presents Tatty Naff, an exhibition reimagining the gallery as a 1970s inspired whare environment.
Drawing on retro domestic design, it combines textured fabrics, warm lighting, bamboo, bead detailing, and modular seating - with Māori material practices such as whatu, whakairo, kōhatu work and collective making.
The installation shifts the gallery from a formal white cube into a lived-in, communal space shaped by shared values and Matariki principles. Light serves as a central organising element, with each piece referencing a Matariki whetū through its materials and tone, structuring the space and guiding movement in alignment with the conceptual architecture and relational flow of a whare.
