TOIREWA (Rewa Fowles)

TOIREWA is a multidisplinary takatāpui queer Māori and Pākehā wahine artist. With a Masters in Dance Movement Therapy and experience in dance theatre, performance art, and creating multi media illustrations.

TOIREWA enjoys collaborating and creating works that challenges society, working around themes of mental health and celebrating the many layers of identity. Especially that of takatāpui Māori.

Artist statement: the moment I realised I felt safe to be skin to skin with a lover in my takatāpui Māori wahine body. Remembering what it felt like emotionally and physically and the peace it brought me, as easy as breath, exhaling and inhaling.
