Book excerpt: Fully and exclusively written in Maori language and aimed at Maori and non-Maori children aged seven to eleven, this book's lively stories tell the tales of some of the taonga Maori held at Aotearoa New Zealand's famous national museum, Te Papa, through appealing text and fantastic illustrations. The book's pukorero, or story teller, is Maui, the great Pacific hero and trickster. The stories are from both long ago and recent times and have been chosen in consultation with Te Papa's matauranga Maori curators and the relevant iwi. They range from how Ruhia's kaitaka, or cloak, saved the life of a young boy and why the band Herbs wrote a song about nuclear testing in the Pacific to Huria Matenga and the Shipwreck, Rata and the Children of Tane, Willie Apiata and the Tough Decision, Hinemoa and Tutanekai, Te Paea and the Ghost Waka, Kahe's Epic Swim, Heni and the Battle of Gate Pa, Kupe and the Giant Wheke and Tane and the Kete of Knowledge. Each story is told via illustrations created by young Maori artists, some have illustrated stories from their own iwi. The book is linked to the TV series He Paki Taonga i a Maui, funded by Te Mangai Paho.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In May 2006 some fifteen artists from New Zealand took over the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge (UK) as part of Pasifika Styles, a groundbreaking experiment in the display of Pacific Art. Installing their works in cases next to taonga or treasures collected on the voyages of Cook and Vancouver, the artists flung open the stores of the museum to bring more of the museum's unparalleled Oceanic collections to light. At the opening of the exhibition, the song of ancient instruments played by contemporary musicians called historic artefacts to life, heralding a new era of collaborative curatorship in ethnographic museums. Over the next two years, visiting artists continued to bring vitality to the collections, offering workshops, seminars, public activities and a festival of performing arts. This book describes Pasifika Styles, from the perspectives of artists, museum professionals and scholars involved in this pioneering project, placing it in the context of current debates about museums, cultural property and art"--Back cover."In May 2006 some fifteen artists from New Zealand took over the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge (UK) as part of Pasifika Styles, an experiment in the display of contemporary Pacific art.

Book excerpt: The issue of who owns Pacific artefacts located in European museums and collected by early explorers has been contentious, with strong debate on either side. New ground was broken in 2006 when an exhibition opened in the Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology with contemporary Maori and Pacific artists displaying their work next to taonga collected on the voyages of Cook and Vancouver. In developing the exhibition, the curators used the analogy of the waka or Polynesian voyaging canoe -- in this case bringing the people and the sounds back to the Oceanic collections in Cambridge. New Zealand was involved right from the start, as some fifteen artists helped to organise, set up and run the activities during a two-year period. The exhibition was a groundbreaking experiment in the display of Pacific art. This book features a series of essays written by those involved in this innovative exhibition. The essays show how each aspect of the exhibition was developed: from the mechanics of planning and curating to the organisational aspects of artists' visits and workshops. Colourful illustrations of artefacts and artists at work accompany each chapter. The making of "Pasifika Styles" is described from the perspectives of artists, museum professionals and scholars. This book should become a working reference for anyone involved in major exhibitions, particularly those aimed at linking museum collections with contemporary art and artists. The debate about museum collections and ownership is now less two-sided and more collaborative when you see the valuable outcomes of the Pasifika Styles exhibition. This project helped to shift the focus on utterly fixed objects unambiguously owned by individuals, communities and institutions to a more relational understanding of the dynamic links between people and things. Pasifika Styles heralds a new era of collaborative curatorship in ethnographic museums, who can now be seen as repositories keeping ancient art works safe so that future generations can draw inspirations from them.

Download or read book Curatopia written by Philipp Schorch and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the future of curatorship? Is there a vision for an ideal model, a curatopia, whether in the form of a utopia or dystopia? Or is there a plurality of approaches, amounting to a curatorial heterotopia? This pioneering volume addresses these questions by considering the current state of curatorship. It reviews the different models and approaches operating in museums, galleries and cultural organisations around the world and discusses emerging concerns, challenges and opportunities. The collection explores the ways in which the mutual, asymmetrical relations underpinning global, scientific entanglements of the past can be transformed into more reciprocal, symmetrical forms of cross-cultural curatorship in the present, arguing that this is the most effective way for curatorial practice to remain meaningful. International in scope, the volume covers three regions: Europe, North America and the Pacific.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's 175 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. At times they've been years of conflict and bitterness, but there have also been remarkable gains, and positive changes that have made New Zealand a distinct nation. This book takes stock of where we've been, where we are headed, and why it matters. Written by some of the country's leading scholars and experts in the field, it ranges from the impact of the Treaty on everything from resource management to school governance. Its focus is the application of the Treaty from the viewpoint of practitioners — the people who are walking and talking it in their jobs, communities or everyday lives — and it vividly tracks the ups and downs of bringing the spirit and principles of the Treaty to fruition.

Book excerpt: Environmental activists and academics alike are realizing that a sustainable society must be a just one. Environmental degradation is almost always linked to questions of human equality and quality of life. Throughout the world, those segments of the population that have the least political power and are the most marginalized are selectively victimized by environmental crises. This book argues that social and environmental justice within and between nations should be an integral part of the policies and agreements that promote sustainable development. The book addresses the links between environmental quality and human equality and between sustainability and environmental justice.
