This is an interpretation of an aspect of the Māori creation story, from Aotearoa (New Zealand), told from the point of view of Papatūānuku, the Earth Mother, which describes how she and her husband Ranginui the Sky Father, were eventually separated by their son Tāne Mahuta and his brothers, so that they could live with light and space to reach their full potential.
Produced in association with Copyright Licensing New Zealand Cultural Fund, the Aho Wahine series of digital graphic novels breathe new life into the traditional stories of Aotearoa/New Zealand, by re-imagining them from the point of view of the female characters.
“Aho Wahine” originated from a concept developed in 2013 under the creative direction of Rhonda Kite ONZM.
