Maori meeting house. Auckland Museum, New Zealand. Дом Маори. Окленд, Новая Зеландия.
Дом Маори. Военно-мемориальный музей Окленда.
Maori are the first inhabitants of Aotearoa – the most widely known Maori name for New Zealand, which means “the land of the long white cloud.” Their ancestors were the East Polynesian people; they were hunters, fishers and gardeners. Maoris were very diligent people, and much of their work demanded common labour. During the daytime the men went to fishing, chopping trees, making weapons, axes, paddles, ropes, building houses and canoes, etc. The women prepared food, brought firewood, wove baskets and mats, and worked in cultivations. The long and distinctive history has made them as one of the most daring and resourceful adventurers of all time. A proud spirit, warmth, quick humor, great art and a deep sense of history – these qualities are gathered in Maori culture, which was isolated from the rest of the world for a long time.
Kura Gallery appeals for return of korowai
A Wellington art gallery is appealing for a korowai to be returned before its Matariki exhibition opens tomorrow. Kura Gallery says the handwoven taonga was made by a renowned weaver. It says it's been told a homeless man was trying to sell the korowai on a nearby street on Tuesday night. The police have been notified.

Kura Gallery Natasha Keating Maori Visual Artist August 2012
Natasha Te Arahori Keating - Ngati Tuwahretoa, Ngai Tuhoe, Te Ati Hau Nui A Paparangi
I create contemporary 'Pou', totemic portraits that reflect the lives, loves and heartache of Maori women, today. 'Pou' are the figurative carvings of our ancestors, which line the walls of our wharenui (meeting houses) our whare tipuna. They represent our different illustrious ancestors, and the stories and lessons, which surround them. I take my cue from the artistic practice of my ancestors and bring it forward to today in my own style, which I have developed over the years.

Kura Gallery Annabelle Buick Mixed Media Maori Weaving March 2012
Annabelle Buick - Ngati Pukenga
Annabelle's work is based on the fundamental design elements and principles of raranga (weaving) - a traditional Maori artform. She is drawn to the use of pattern and their origins. This understanding enables her to stretch possibilities with non-traditional materials and explore modern concepts.
Toi te Reo: Language Through Art at City Gallery Wellington (2015)
On Wednesday 29 July, City Gallery Wellington was joined by a stellar line-up of musicians, writers, speakers, artists and actors for Toi te Reo. The evening event, celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Maori/ Maori Language Week, will include Tangata Korero mo Te Reo (True Stories Told Live) and a special performance by Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle) and Tola Newbury (from the film, Pa Boys).
The theme for 2015’s Maori Language Week is nga matua/parents— how parents foster and nurture the language at home. This is explored through Nga Tangata Korero mo Te Reo. True Stories Told Live is the New Zealand Book Council’s version of The Moth. Storytellers have between eight and ten minutes each to speak on the theme. No notes. No readings. No questions. Just true stories that promise to inspire, entrance, and entertain.
Toi te Reo’s storytellers include: Shannon Te Ao, his work, two shoots that stretch far out, is currently on show at City Gallery; Te Kahureremoa Taumata, singer, songwriter and storyteller; Apirana Taylor, writer; Paora Tibble, writer and te Reo Maori translator; Suzanne Tamaki, fabric artist; Reuben Friend, curator; and the National Library’s Ati Teepa.
Following the storytelling, musician Mara TK and performance artist and actor, Tola Newbery presented a new work, The Collective Prophet. This collaborative performance incorporated movement, beats, and songs in both te Reo Maori and English.
