Sunday 5 November, 1
pm: Art History of Parihaka
The work of many
contemporary artists has been influenced by the story of
Parihaka. While some artists have a personal connection to
the place, others have purposefully made a place for
Parihaka in their work. Art historian Dr Deidre Brown will
look at the different 'ways of seeing' Parihaka, its people,
and its events, as presented in recent art, architecture,
design and non-fiction writing. Admission free.
Sunday 5
November, 3 pm: Artists in Conversation with Jonathan
Mane-Wheoki and Roma Potiki
Traditions grow and evolve,
with artists often interpreting key events, ideas and
proposing possible futures. Artists whose works are included
in the exhibition discuss their response to Parihaka, and
consider their engagement with political and cultural
issues. A debate on some of the key issues for contemporary
Maori art. Admission free.
