Discovering History as a Series of Very Real Relationships
Inside the ancestral house, surrounding the heart of the people, history is carved, plaited and painted into the walls. When Maori gather and speak, they draw living stories from these walls, giving meaning to their life today through this relationship with the past.
Toi Whakaari: NZ Drama School second year acting, design and entertainment technology students collaborate to explore what the histories and stories housed within the walls of the Museum of Wellington mean for them as young practitioners living in New Zealand today.
You will be invited on an intimate journey through the rooms of the museum, enticed by figures and scenes of our collective past, devised from student’s research and personal points of curiosity.
