OHAURUTIA KI PAEMANU WHĀNUI
Paemanu: Kāi Tahu Contemporary Visual Arts (Paemanu Charitable Trust) pursue a vision to cultivate a vibrant Kāi Tahu visual culture for future generations by exploring Kāi Tahutaka through contemporary visual art. Our rōpū has been involved in a range of projects including Paemanu: Nohoaka Toi at COCA in 2017, and Paemanu: Tauraka Toi at Dunedin Public Art Gallery December 2021-April 2022. In 2022 we established the Paemanu Art Collection, which we hope to grow over the years.
We want to strengthen our connections with Kāi Tahu artists, wherever they are in Aotearoa or te ao.

Questions and Answers:
I’m a Ngāi Tahu artist so why do I need to donate to Paemanu?
A lot of the mahi we do as Paemanu is funded through contestable funding pools. It isn't always consistent, and is primarily for Paemanu exhibition projects, residencies or wānaka. Most of the administrative work performed by the charitable trust is voluntary. By offering a koha to Paemanu, you support the work we do to keep everyone connected via social media, this website, and regular email pānui.
Please note that joining out mailing list or offering koha does not ensure Paemanu support (financial or otherwise) for your individual projects or funding applications. Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss your individual projects and ways we might be able to help. Email: paemanucharitabletrust@gmail.com
I'm not Ngāi Tahu - can I still be involved with Paemanu?
Our wānaka, residencies and exhibition opportunities are for Ngāi Tahu artists. But we value engagement, and support from anyone who is interested in our mahi. You can find out about our activities via this website, our Facebook page, or Instagram. You can also show your support by making a donation.
