Coinciding with Whīro, the new moon, Tia Barrett is set to launch part two of Tūhononga (Cluster and Connection) on 9 April 2024. Having engaged in noho wānanga (meeting/discussions) on ancestral land throughout the summer, the upcoming digital artwork documents the climate crisis in Wairewa Roto (Lake Forsyth) in Te Wai Pounamu (South Island of New Zealand). This project forms the eighth weather report from Te Tuhi’s Te Moana Nui ā Kiwa weather station Huarere: Weather Eye, Weather Ear, part of the World Weather Network.
