Experience Te Papa’s magnificent collection of Māori art from past and present. Compare contemporary Māori art with customary taonga (cultural treasures). Investigate the ways in which contemporary artists connect with and draw inspiration from customary practices and beliefs – how they reflect on them, respond to them, or transform them in their work. Make a detailed study of one artwork in your visual diary or notebook, analysing the artist’s approach to cultural issues.
