Conserving Cloaks

Rangi Te Kanawa, Te Papa Textile Conservator, talks about how her mother, the late Diggeress Te Kanawa, and grandmother, Dame Rangimārie Hetet (both renowned weavers), influenced her work in conserving the Māori cloaks in Te Papa's collection.

Kahu Ora | Living Cloaks showcases the world's largest collection of Māori cloaks -- among the most precious taonga (treasures) to Māori and stunning in their artistry and diversity. At the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, 8 June -- 21 October 2012.
