Auckland-based XR experience designer Mairi Gunn's installation, haptic HONGI, uses Augmented Reality to honor the call by Māori to have a 'seat at the table' and reflect on the initial encounters between Māori and Tauiwi. Experience a thought-provoking interaction with a volumetric capture of Māori woman Tania Remana, as she addresses you directly and engages in a hongi, a traditional Māori greeting.

The storyteller is Tania Remana, (Ngāpuhi).
