Pūkana: moments in Māori Performance. Te Ihi, te wehi, te wana

September 23, 2019 8:00 am - May 23, 2020 8:00 am

Asia and the Pacific | New Zealand | Wellington | National Library of New Zealand Gallery. 70 Molesworth Street, Wellington, New Zealand

Others

Pūkana: Moments in Māori performance Te ihi, te wehi, te wana, will showcase and celebrate excellence in Māori performance, as represented in the collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library. Pūkana will range far and wide to give visitors a sense of the ihi (essential force / personal magnetism), wehi (a response of awe in reaction to ihi) and wana (exhilaration), inherent to Maori performance.

Pūkana means:  (verb) to stare wildly, dilate the eyes — done by both genders when performing haka and waiata to emphasise particular words and to add excitement to the performance

Can all Māori sing and play the guitar?

This exhibition shows Māori who do just that — but the world of Māori performance is so much more.

Come and experience the many awe-inspiring Māori performances across time – from origin stories, right up to today’s young performers taking the world by storm.

Performance is at the heart of Maori culture and the way Maori engage with each other and the world, whether to celebrate, seduce, entertain, express dissent or anger, or grieve.

Year of Indigenous Languages Film Fest 2019
Scroll
Indigenous languages matter for social, economic and political development, peaceful coexistence and reconciliation in our societies. Yet many of them are in danger of disappearing. It is for this reason that the United Nations declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages in order to encourage urgent action to preserve, revitalize and promote them.
