Join us for a talk organised in conjunction with the exhibition Emily Karaka: Ka Awatea, A New Dawn, exploring the artist’s five-decade practice and her new work commissioned by Sharjah Art Foundation. Born of the politics of colonisation, Karaka’s work is personal, passionate and anchored in Māori rights related to the Treaty of Waitangi, the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand.
This talk will precede the opening reception and exhibition tour.
Speaker: Megan Tamati-Quennell, of Te Ātiawa, Ngāti Mutunga, Taranaki, Ngai Tahu, Kāti Mamoe and Waitaha descent, co-curator of Sharjah Biennial 16
