Intuitio- The intuitive, to scrutinize, the act of seeing. Pumanawa- Intuitive cleverness, the drawing in of a long breath, the heartbeat.

Pumanawa/ Intuitio: Artistic Passport Aotearoa is a showcase of authenticity to one's own cultural identity, while reflecting on the common denominator of an Aotearoa NZ lifestyle. Artists respond intuitively, considering their heritage, placement and/or displacement, the negotiation of challenges, and things to be celebrated.
