Rooted in K?i Tahu identity, the collection chronicles a homecoming and offers a moving account of memory, place and belonging.\u003cbr\u003eBorn and raised in ?tautahi Christchurch, Tikao left the city after the devastating\u003cbr\u003eearthquakes of 2010 and 2011. In 2023 she was awarded the Ursula Bethell Residency at the University of Canterbury and returned to live in a place that was both deeply familiar and astonishingly new. Written largely during this period, Pepeha Portal is shaped by stories embedded in the landscape – many long erased by colonialism and only recently exposed by cultural, as much as geological, shifts.\u003cbr\u003eResponding to suburban landscapes and t?puna places, personal memory and ancestral voice, Pepeha Portal considers how language, whakapapa and whenua act as portals to belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eshining like light on water\u003cbr\u003ea path for the next\u003cbr\u003egeneration\u003cbr\u003efrom ‘Intonation’\u003cbr\u003ePUBLISHER:\u003cbr\u003eOtago University Press\u003cbr\u003eAUTHOR:\u003cbr\u003eAriana Tikao\u003cbr\u003eBIND:\u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePAGES:\u003cbr\u003e68\u003cbr\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003cbr\u003e150 x 230 mm","brand":"NATIONWIDE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41798026592389,"sku":"PR427042","price":31.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/volts9781991348197_0_TSLNQS5B5V8S.jpg?v=1786163813","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/pepeha-portal-by-ariana-tikao-paperback","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
