| dc.description.abstract | This writing explores the effect of colonisation on Māori culture, art and, in particular, my own art practice. It explores the impact on Māori health and wellbeing and how I can address that in art. I investigate my whakapapa inspirations, the mediums that have informed my work, as well as the materials and mechanisms that I use to share the narrative. During my study at Massey we experienced two lockdowns due to Covid, which changed how I created work and how I would present it. I was looking at social media and online platforms with fresh eyes, and new skills. In the past I have collaborated with other Māori artists to show activist work in public spaces while trying to remain safe. With the new body of work, I was able to include humour as a mechanism to diffuse some of the more politically charged issues, and create new personas and voices to share my thoughts and messages. | en |
