From ancient whatu kākahu to contemporary installation art, art historian and curator Dr Kirsty Baker’s Sight Lines tells the story of art made by women in Aotearoa. They have worked individually, collaboratively and in collectives. Their stories and their work enable us to ask new questions of art history in Aotearoa. How have tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti artists negotiated their relationships to each other, and to this place? How have women used their art-making to explore their relationships to land and water, family and community, politics and the nation? Baker, Chloe Cull (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi Te Ruahikihiki)and Hanahiva Rose (Kāi Tahu, Te Atiawa, Ngāti Toa) join Melanie Oliver in conversation.
In partnership with the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
