Atua Wāhine

Dr Ngahuia Murphy’s transformative research reveals the multiple ways in which Māori and other Indigenous wahine are recovering relationships with Atua Wāhine. Writer Ataria Sharman is one of the editors of Atua Wāhine, a collection of writing in response to Māori goddesses; and is author of a thesis looking at the relationship between Atua Wāhine, Mana Wahine and wāhine Māori expression. Ngahuia and Ataria speak to writer Whiti Hereaka about the importance of creatively connecting with the feminine divine.
