Artist Bio
Kairau ‘Haser’ Bradley is a Māori artist of Ngāpuhi descent, born and raised in the western suburbs of Auckland, Aotearoa (New Zealand).
Haser’s work reflects a lifetime of exploring the limits and boundaries of the alphabet in the context of graffiti. These studies have manifested into a post graffiti narrative which illustrates a story of his fear of love, a place for his people and hope for a better world.
Although he has a less traditional approach, Haser’s ability to create Māori art through the lens of his graffiti persona allows him to bridge that gap and create a space for him to use his ancestors' stories as a platform to forge his own. It’s a place where he can begin to escape the criticism of the graffiti community and the real world and it’s a space that is inspired by his ideal reality.
Presented by Whau the People, Hui Kōrero Under the Stars celebrates Matariki through creativity, connection, and storytelling as part of Great Art on Main, a series of artworks bringing bursts of colour and joy to Avondale's main street, delivered in partnership with the Auckland Urban Development Office.
