The DCC is supporting Ngai Tahu in the creation and installation of a community art display during the Rugby World Cup.

The Council is contributing $50,000 toward a temporary pay-per-view art installation called a 'Haka Peep Show'.

Mayor Dave Cull says it's a unique way of showing visitors and residents of the increasingly strong ties that exist between Ngai Tahu and the city.

Artist Rachel Rakena describes the coin-operated booth in the lower Octagon as role reversal - women paying to watch men, and the only opportunity to watch the haka in Dunedin during the Rugby World Cup.
