Our city has been colonised, when you see a photo of Auckland (without the Sky Tower) it is completely ambiguous, compared to Italy, Japan, Germany, their architecture is obvious. With my peice I want to explore incorperating our culture wih Maori artists, and add them into our most populated area of New Zealand.
I had a tiki tour around the city, specifically looking for a ‘blank canvas’ on the city walls, wasted potential to add culture and our knowledge to our cities, I want to incorperate Maori and Pacifican culture, ideas like our navigation system, taniwha, maori myths. Incorporating Maori Artists, historical drawings and myself, i want to fill these blank walls.
