A design of sovereignty and memory. This tile honours He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni (The Declaration of Independence) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Te Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni was a declaration of presence, a gathering of rangatira from across the motu who recognised that immense social change was arriving with the Pākehā. It was an act of unity among sovereigns, each asserting their mana while also acknowledging the need to stand together. It was not simply a political statement but a vision for survival and flourishing in a world that was shifting beneath their feet.
Te Whakaputanga
StoryWalls are seamless 1.2m x 2.4m panels that unite two StoryTiles into one powerful canvas. Designed to carry super cultural narratives, they transform venues and spaces into environments that inspire, connect, and resonate.
StoryWalls are offered with a choice of four distinctive backgrounds — Crimson Christmas, Ocean Deep, New Zealand Native, and Seaspray — each reflecting the spirit of the season and the coastal world of the pōhutukawa.
