Layne Waerea (Te Arawa, Ngāti Kahungunu) is a Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist whose practice centres on installations and performance art interventions. Her works seek to challenge and play with social and legal ambiguities in the public sphere. Waerea uses her experiences as a former lawyer and lecturer in law to inform her artistic work, focussing in particular on how te Tiriti o Waitangi might continue to play a critical role in the developing cultural fabric of Aotearoa. Recent exhibitions include Hybrid Spring (with Deborah Rundle), Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Wellington, 2018; and Two Oceans at Once, ST PAUL St Gallery, Auckland.
