Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa - Revelations

Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa FW25

The system is broken. The promises that were made to us are no longer being kept. We were promised that studying hard and working harder would secure a future worth having. But no matter how many jobs we obtain or how qualified we are, we’re all barely staying afloat.

Creatives refuse to work for conglomerates that care more about turning profits than cultivating the arts. This leaves us the margins and footnotes of every conversation - and we left a lot unsaid in our past show week.

This March’s Te Wiki Āhua o Aotearoa FW25 continues to focus on promoting and platforming emerging and early career artists from all areas of Aotearoa’s creative scene.

Revelations

Step into a world where mythology meets modernity in 'Revelations'. A tribute to ancestral storytelling, designer Niq Atelier channels the power and wisdom of atua and tūpuna, creating a regal, queen-goddess energy that honors the divine strength woven into our history.

This collection reflects the deep connection between past and present, reminding us of the struggles and power that shape our journey. Each piece serves as a beacon of where we come from and the purpose that guides us forward. In moments of uncertainty, we are called to look back at our roots to know where we should go next.
