We will assemble at the entrance to the Aotea Centre and wait for the karanga (call of welcome). A kaikaranga (female caller) will respond to the call on our behalf as manuhiri (visitors), following which we will move into the venue, led by the women. Tangata whenua will call and guide us in to be seated before whaikōrero (speeches). Speakers from each side will be supported by waiata (song). At the conclusion of the speeches, there will be harirū (shake hands) and hongi (press noses) before we join together for morning tea. Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) museum colleagues and other Aotearoa New Zealand museum colleagues will be there to guide delegates if it’s your first experience of a pōwhiri. For more information about marae protocol and pōwhiri, please go to: http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/marae-protocol-te-kawa-o-te-marae/page-1 Pōwhiri are traditionally held on the marae (meeting grounds) although tangata whenua can engage all spaces for ceremonial purposes as kaitiaki (guardians) across their ancestral landscape. Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei home fires are centred around the Ōrākei Marae (10 minutes from Auckland CBD). The Kaitiaki Indigenous Hui will be held at Ōrākei Marae following the conference on Thursday 19 May 2016. For more information about Ōrākei Marae, please go to: http://www.wakamaori.co.nz/maori-culture/marae/orakei-marae/ 4 #MA16NZ Welcome to Conference The planning of this conference programming began with a provocation, Robert R Janes’ challenge to museums to address pressing societal issues and to add social and cultural value now and in the future. As a platform for dialogue and discussion between Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia this event is a unique opportunity to consider the ways that museums are aiming to be of social, cultural and ecological value from perspectives across our region. A large interest in the themes of kaitiakitanga (custodianship), hāngaitanga (relevance), tūranga (place) and mātauranga/tikanga (knowledge/practice) was evident from the volume of speaker proposals received. These evidenced a keen interest in museums and galleries as spaces where governance and custodianship, indigenous and cultural agency, and connections with local communities are valued and being explored and re-evaluated in many ways. The final programme offers many different voices and multiple forums for discussion. We welcome all perspectives on the strategies, operations and capabilities of our institutions and the differences or shared experiences between Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. A key aim of the conference is to create stronger professional relations as well as shared knowledge in order to begin to co-create future social museums in this region that recognise the importance of peoples, diversity, locality, histories, collections and professional disciplines.
