Mata Aho Collective

works in New Zealand

Mata Aho Collective is a collaboration between four Maori women who produce large scale fiber based works, commenting on the complexity of Maori lives. Our conceptual framework is founded within the contemporary realities of matauranga Maori. We produce works with a single collective authorship that are bigger than our individual capabilities. Living in Aotearoa New Zealand we are:

Sarah Hudson (Ngati Awa, Ngai Tuhoe) completed a Masters in Fine Arts with high distinction through Massey University in 2010.

Bridget Reweti (Ngati Ranginui, Ngai Te Rangi) completed a Masters in Maori Visual Arts with First Class Honours at Massey University, Palmerston North and also holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Museum Studies from Victoria University, Wellington.
