WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
A solo exhibition of new works by Melanie Tangaere Baldwin, Ngāti Porou.This exhibition explores the insipid notion – most often espoused on online ‘Comments’ boards – that Māori should be grateful for having been colonised. The works take a kind of tongue-in-cheek approach to accepting this ideology as fact, while simultaneously attempting to expose the ridiculousness of this way of thinking and to offer a hopeful way forward. The artist uses her whakapapa to create a pseudo self-portrait so that she can explore these ideas from her own specific perspective.
