TE URU

With our unique perspective, located in the forested outskirts of Tāmaki Makaurau, Te Uru is the region's leading contemporary gallery with an international programme that reflects our place in Aotearoa and the wider Moana region, connecting new ideas and different practices with local and global networks. We recognise Māori as Tangata Whenua and Te Kawerau ā Maki as Mana Whenua in our rohe. We are dedicated to advancing our role within Te Tiriti o Waitangi, which strengthens our activities and relationships, both internally and externally... Our name, Te Uru, makes reference to Te Hau a Uru, the wind that blows from the west, a powerful characteristic of the region and an important story for local iwi, Te Kawerau ā Maki, who have bestowed us with this new kaupapa. The west wind shares the messages and vision of the people that live in the west, brings change, sets direction and influences Auckland City from its mountainous perch atop Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa - the Waitākere Ranges.
