Kohi-tātea/January 2009Tangata o le Moana: The story of Pacific people in New Zealand
Rātū 20 Whiringa-ā-nuku 2009 – Rāpare 24 Mahuru 2009
This exhibition is the story of Pacific people past and present, in all areas of life – on the street, on the sports field, in the recording studio, on the political stage, and beyond. There are highs, and there are lows – from the dawn raids of the 1970s to Tana Umaga becoming first Pacific captain of the All Blacks. Exhibits range from ancient vaka (canoes) to contemporary jewellery to ‘Pacific Beats’, an interactive that lets you remix the sounds of Pacific musicians like Bill Sevesi, Fat Freddy’s Drop, and OMC.
