He Ara Tuku Iho: Rangatiratanga

Course

A critical exploration of Māori creative contributions to political movements that uphold rangatiratanga and mana motuhake, with reference to He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. You will investigate social, historical and political contexts that have informed and motivated Māori creative responses in support of Māori aspirations, activism, resistance and self-determination. The course examines how mātauranga toi Māori is expressed across a range of contexts, including built environments, digital spaces, the body, sound, visual arts, and ceremonial practice. Through critical and creative engagement, you will develop an understanding of the relationships between creative practice and political expression, reflecting on your own position and response as creative practitioners and contributors to collective aspirations for tino rangatiratanga.
