Atamira was founded in 2000 by a collective made up of Jack Gray, Louise Potiki Bryant, Dolina Wehipeihana and Justine Hohaia. Together they created a platform for Māori artists to express themselves through their mātauranga Māori and dance. Now in the 21st year of the company, Atamira has created the new powerful work TE WHEKE that highlights working collaboratively along with the model of hauora created by Dr Rangimarie Rose Pere.
