Curated and conceived by Rachael Rakena and Mike Bridgman, the multimedia artwork explores people's relationships with the ocean and climate change, while simultaneously highlighting Indigenous knowledge and stories.
The inaugural Mana Moana project was a massive hit in Wellington, New Zealand, and even received a Gold at the 2019 BEST Design Awards in the Ngā Aho category.
Mana Moana will be on display at 25 Queens Quay W from sunset on Oct. 1 to sunrise on Oct. 2 as part of Nuit Blanche.
