120 – Te Rā with the Early Māori Textiles Team

A very exciting interview with the team that brought home the only known pre-European Māori sail from the British Muesum. We talk about not just Te Rā herself but also the process of talking to the British Museum and organising the exhibition along with the responses from the New Zealand public.

You can see Te Rā in the Christchurch Art Gallery until October 2023 at which point she will be moved to the Auckland War Memorial Museum for the forseeable future.

I happened across this podcast purely accidentally a few months before travelling to Aotearoa on holiday. The podcast was mesemerising. I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was upon visiting the Auckland Museum that Te Ra was still on display — a deeply moving moment for me to see it on display. Thank you for providing the impetus for such a special memory.
