Join artists John Miller (Ngāpuhi), Natalie Robertson (Ngāti Porou, Clann Dhònnchaidh) and Emily Parr (Ngāi Te Rangi, Moana, Pākehā) as they discuss their work and the role photography can play in Māori land rights and activism.

These artists have work featured in the exhibition He Kapuka Oneone: A Handful of Soil. This expansive exhibition explores the fundamental role whenua plays in the visual language and identity of Aotearoa. Acknowledging Māori as takata whenua, the first peoples to call this land home, themes of kaitiakitaka, colonisation, environmentalism, land use, migration, identity and belonging are considered through collection works, new acquisitions and exciting commissions. Painting, sculpture, ceramics, raraka, photography, moving image, printmaking and weaving by historical and contemporary artists are brought together to reveal how land has been a material and subject for art in Aotearoa for hundreds of years.
