A beautifully designed new book that champions recent film, animation and video art made by Maori artists. Whether it be 16mm film, hand-drawn animation, 4K video or footage recorded on a phone, moving image artworks create a unique space for Maori artists to connect the forms, patterns and concepts of toi ataata (Maori visual arts) with the oral histories, performance and music of nga mahi a te rehia (the arts of performance). This new book acknowledges the senior Maori artists who have led the way, and the newer generations working with moving image to convey concepts of whakapapa, whenua and whanaungatanga.
