End: 7:30pm

Metiria is performing Ngakau Warrior at the exhibition opening 'Of Women Born'. A film of the event and Metiria's performance will be available on the Greens website later in the week for those who cannot make it.

“I wrote Ngakau Warrior in 2003 for the Green Room 002: Wahine cd release from Loop Recordings. It is a piece about the complexity and inconsistency of womens experience, the complicated relationships women have with their lovers, with Papatuanuku and Hine-Ahu-One and claims our right to be as complicated, inconsistent and staunch as we please and celebrates it all.”
