Indigenous art on the rise
Contemporary Māori art is part of a worldwide rise in contemporary indigenous art, according to cultural historian Jonathan Mane-Wheoki.
Professor Mane-Wheoki, the former head of Auckland University’s Elam School of Fine Arts, has been picked by the Royal Society of New Zealand to deliver this years’s Aronui Lecture
He will talk about how in Asia, Africa, northern Europe, the Americas, Australasia and the Pacific, indigenous artists are using new technologies and media to explore and recast their identities and heritages in contemporary forms.
The National Art Gallery of Canada is currently showing recent work by over eighty artists from sixteen countries, including New Zealand, which illustrate the trend.
The lecture will be given in four centres, starting in Auckland on August 14.
Ngā toi ā iwi taketake
E kite ana i te tupu ō ngā mahinga toi ā iwi taketake huri noa te ao.
Koia te tirohanga ā Jonathan Mane-Wheokī tohunga mahi toi, māna e whakatakoto te kauhau motuhake e kiia nei ko Aronui, i tēnei tau.
Ka kōrero ia mō ngā kaitoi ō iwi taketake mē ngā hāngarau hou kei te whakamahia, hai whakaatu i te tatūnga ō ngā iwi huri noa mē ā rātou momo mahi toi ki tēnei ao kikokiko.
Ka kōrerohia ngā kauhau ki Tāmaki Makaurau, atu i te tekau mā whā ō tēnei marama.
