To coincide with the monumental Toi Tū Toi Ora: Contemporary Māori Art currently on at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi ō Tamaki, this exhibition showcases the work of Māori practitioners.
Engaging with common concerns of identity and place, the works of Shane Cotton (Ngāpuhi), Darryn George (Ngāpuhi), Chris Heaphy (Ngāi Tahu), Ralph Hotere (Te Aupōuri, Te Rarawa), Reuben Paterson (Ngāti Rangitihi, Ngāi Tūhoe, Tūhourangi), John Walsh (Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti) and others add to the timely conversation around contemporary Māori art. Each distinct in character, the selection of works speak to individual and collective concerns, celebrating strength of expression grounded in a Māori world view.
