  • Art's Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki
    Art’s Histories in Aotearoa New Zealand Jonathan Mane Wheoki This is the text of an illustrated paper presented at ‘Art History's History in Australia and New Zealand’, a joint symposium organised by the Australian Institute of Art History in the University of Melbourne and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Art Historians (AAANZ), held on 28 – 29 August 2010. Responding to a set of questions framed around the ‘state of art history in New Zealand’, this paper reviews the ‘invention’ of a nationalist art history and argues that there can be no coherent, integrated history of art in New Zealand that does not encompass the timeframe of the cultural production of New Zealand’s indigenous Māori, or that of the Pacific nations for which the country is a regional hub, or the burgeoning cultural diversity of an emerging Asia-Pacific nation. On 10 July 2010 I participated in a panel discussion ‘on the state of New Zealand art history.’ This timely event had been initiated by Tina Barton, director of the Adam Art Gallery in the University of Victoria, Wellington, who chaired the discussion among the twelve invited panellists. The host university’s department of art history and art gallery and the University of Canterbury’s art history programme were represented, as were the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the City Gallery, Wellington, the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and the University of Auckland’s National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries. The University of Auckland’s department of art history1 and the University of Otago’s art history programme were unrepresented, unfortunately, but it is likely that key scholars had been targeted and were unable to attend.

Structured into three sections, it addresses the three curatorial thematics Oceanic identity that provided the overarching frame for the exhibitions. ‘The ocean is a place’ focuses diaspora on Angela Tiatia and Rachael Rakena, and acknowledges the importance of Epeli indigenous Hau’ofa’s writing in relation to the ocean and Oceania as a crucial marker of iden- epistemologies tity both within its geographic location and beyond. ‘History is a place’ considers digital art moving image installations by Michel Tuffery and Greg Semu, in particular referenc- contemporary ing how they rework and reimagine colonial and art historical representations and photography conventions. ‘Diaspora is a place’ compares the photographic practices of Ane Tonga and Edith Amituanai, whose work reflects on and captures the dynamics that emerge as Pacific communities draw on and adapt cultural traditions, and negotiate rela- tionships mediated by their migration and diaspora experiences. Unlike the term ‘site’, the notion of ‘place’ is fluid and multi-layered in its reso- nance. It can define something as particular as a specific location, or could be as broad as a vast area in space.

  • Creative Reflections of Pasifika Ethnic Mixedness
    ‘The Bitter Sweetness of the Space Between’: Creative Reflections of Pasifika Ethnic Mixedness By Emily Fatu A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Pacific Studies Pacific Studies, Va‘aomanū Pasifika Victoria University 2016 Abstract This Master of Arts thesis investigates and draws conclusions regarding how creative arts present accommodating spaces for articulating and understanding cultural mixedness amongst Pacific populations in New Zealand. New Zealand is home to an expanding Pacific population; statistics identify a growing number of these Pacific people who are multi-ethnic, and who are claiming their mixedness in official census data. As Pacific populations have grown, Pacific artists have risen to national prominence in visual, literary and performing arts. Many of these artists have themselves been of mixed ancestry. This thesis examines the work of three female New Zealand artists of mixed Samoan-English or Samoan- Indian descent, asking, “How do these artists and their work express their cultural mixedness?” Discussion centres on mixed media visual artist Niki Hastings-McFall, who is of English and Samoan descent; spoken word poet Grace Taylor, also of English and Samoan descent; and musical performer Aaradhna Patel, who is of Indian and Samoan descent. Placing both the creative work and public commentary of these three artists at its centre, this thesis explores how these artists publicly identify with their Samoan heritage as well as their other heritage(s); how they use their art as a platform for identity articulation; and how creative arts provide flexible and important spaces for self-expression.

This exhibition emerges from this co-creation, and from origins as ancient as the great sea of Kiwa. Seven new works share stories of unfurling life and ongoing whakapapa, the unbreakable connections of past-present-future and ocean-land-sky. Prompted by stills from the meditation, each work has been hand-drawn, extended and reinvigorated at extraordinary resolution. Compulsory Covid-19 lockdowns gave time and pause for Tuffery to harness new creative and printing technologies. Details emerge from the blackest of black inks as though luminescent. The distinction between 2-d and 3-d cannot hold; these works pulsate, twinkle and spin. Reaching out from the fertile darkness of the realm of potential being, here is our ever-turning world. Michel Tuffery warmly acknowledgements Dr Karlo Mila and the Mana Moana Cutarorial Aiga; Rachel Rakena, Michael Bridgman, Storybox, Manase Lua, Laughton Kura, Dr Billie Lythberg and CNZ. www.manamoana.co.nz/artwork/mana-moana-meditation/ Old Library Building Phone 03 366 3318 The Arts Centre Email [email protected] 2 Worcester Boulevard www.thecentral.co.nz Christchurch All works are drawing, pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photorag 308 Cotton Paper.

  • TUPAIA: PALINGENESIS of a POLYNESIAN EPIC HERO Elena Traina Independent Researcher
    TUPAIA: PALINGENESIS OF A POLYNESIAN EPIC HERO Elena Traina Independent Researcher RIASSUNTO: Nel 1769, il navigatore polinesiano Tupaia salì a bordo della Endeavour, capitanata da James Cook, assumendo il ruolo di intermediario culturale e interprete nei primi incontri tra europei e Māori su Aotearoa (Nuova Zelanda). Ciò che sappiamo di Tupaia si deduce dai diversi resoconti stilati dai membri britannici della spedizione, mentre non sono sopravvissute fonti Māori o polinesiane dalla sua morte nel 1770. In occasione delle celebrazioni “Tuia 250” nel 2019, la storia di Tupaia fu ripresa dalla poetessa Courtney Sina Meredith e dall’illustratore Mat Tait in The Adventures of Tupaia, una graphic novel che accosta dati storici e aneddoti con interpretazioni narrative di alcuni aspetti della sua vita. Nello stesso anno, la regista Lala Rolls terminava di produrre un’altra opera artistica volta a reinterpretare la vita di Tupaia, il documentario Tupaia’s Endeavour (2020). Questa ricerca si propone di interpretare queste due opere come segni di un processo di palingenesi di Tupaia come eroe epico, e di ricostruire la sua identità eroica tramite temi e aspetti in comune tra la graphic novel e il film. PAROLE CHIAVE: Tupaia, Polinesia, heroo-poiesis, palingenesi, epica mancante ABSTRACT: Polynesian navigator Tupaia boarded Captain Cook’s Endeavour in Tahiti in 1769, becoming a cultural intermediary and interpreter during the first encounters with the Māori people in Aotearoa. What we know of Tupaia is gathered by several accounts by members of the British expedition, but no Māori or other Polynesian sources have survived after Tupaia’s death in 1770. As part of New Zealand’s “Tuia 250” commemoration in 2019, Tupaia’s story was retold by poet Courtney Sina Meredith and illustrator Mat Tait in The Adventures of Tupaia, a graphic novel which combines historical facts and anecdotes with fictional interpretations of some aspects of Tupaia’s life.
