Te hā tarapepe - The resonating breath of our Tīpuna
A reading of three extracts in te reo Māori complimenting the current exhibition at City Gallery Wellington - Te Huringa/Turning Points: Pākehā Colonisation and Māori Empowerment. The exhibition contains a range of works devoted to the representation of Māori and Māori subject matter by Pākehā and the way in which Māori art practitioners have reflected their own ideas and concerns. The three extracts will be from Eruera Mānuera by Te Onehou Phillis, ‘Te Huia’ an early 20th century newspaper article from Māori newspaper Te Toa Takitini about the importance of huia feathers and from the soon-to-be released Māori edition of Potiki by Patricia Grace.
