Hotere Country was the previous exhibition at Village Arts. It featured Ralph Hotere's important work 'Song of Solomon', a compelling commentary on the 1991 Gulf War.
The aim of the exhibition was to honour, acknowledge and pay tribute to Ralph Hotere who was born in Mitimiti, on Hokianga's west coast, 30 km from Kohukohu.
The exhibition also featured works from five artists with strong connections to Hotere country; Maureen Lander, Lindsay Antrobus Evans, Claire Deighton, Ross T Smith and Heiwari Johnson.
