Raukura Turei (Ngā Rauru Kītahi, Taranaki, Ngāti Pāoa, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki) is an artist, architect, actor, and a rising star in the world of Māori art. This month, Raukura was in Sao Paulo exhibiting her work at a biennial alongside 120 international artists.
Her art guides her architectural work. At Monk Mackenzie, where she is a principal architect, she leads her colleagues on the journey of walking in two worlds, bringing her identity as a wahine Māori to the forefront.
Raukura joins Mihi Forbes to discuss her new book, Takoto ai te Marino: Selected Works 2018–2025.
