Toi tuuturu, toi whakawhiti, toi rerekee.
From taonga Maaori to contemporary practice.
In-gallery programme
1 hour programme. Up to 20 learners.
Suited to anyone interested in exploring the evolution of toi Maaori, from whenua-based customary practices (the whare whakairo, raranga and more) through transcustomary practices to contemporary toi Maaori on the global stage.
It will include: a gallery tour and discussion time (touching on maatauranga Māori, whenua and whakapapa as well as global and contemporary contexts).
Students will be encouraged to reflect on the cultural complexities of engaging with taonga, of making (or borrowing from) indigenous art today, and on their own relationship to these artists, works, and issues.
Topics will shift according to the changing exhibition programme.
