Abstract:

The exhibition 'Whakatairangitia rere ki uta, rere ki tai' ('Proclaim it to the land, proclaim it to the sea') was part of a three month curated exhibition 'This Time of Useful Consciousness-Political Ecology Now' at the Dowse Art Museum, Wellington, NZ, which holds one of the country's largest and significant public art collections. The curated exhibition included 10 NZ artists and designers, each producing stand-alone self-curated contributions. Our contribution was one of these 10, and is the subject of this NTRO. It was designed and produced by the 'Kei Uta' collective which includes the three authors of this NTRO. Penny Allan led our exhibition's curation. Penny Allan, Martin Bryant and Huhana Smith designed, supervised and prepared the production of all the artefacts. We were supported by transdisciplinary team of scientists, artists and designers, and local Māori community leaders. The exhibition included drawings, maps, models, light box images, photographs, thematic scripting, and landscape/architectural designs. We also delivered a keynote address at the venue. The exhibition's artefacts were the visual outputs of research linking climate change adaptations with indigenous Māori knowledge system on a Māori owned coastal farm. The research project was funded ($250,000) by the Ministry of Business and Innovation, NZ's key government funding body. The research is summarised in the publicly available report 'Adaptation Strategies to Address Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Māori Communities in Aotearoa New Zealand'. Further findings have been published in 2 journal articles and 2 book chapters. One of the research objectives was to establish the role of visual material in making climate change research available and accessible to the general public. Thus, the visual artefacts in curated exhibitions generated their own important research conclusions. The exhibition was preceded by three smaller exhibitions curated by Penny Allan, with work by both Penny Allan and Martin Bryant. Two of these smaller exhibitions were held at Victoria University Wellington, and entitled 'Wai o Papa, Waterlands.' Another exhibition and event was held at Kuku Farm, the case study site, under the title 'Whakatairangitia rere ki uta, rere ki tai'. Based on the impact of these exhibitions, we were invited to show at the Dowse. Our Dowse exhibition was designed to communicate how Māori knowledge methodologies might encourage autonomous responses to climate change impacts. Three methodologies each with a distinctive narrative, were represented by 10-20 artefacts, explanatory text and thematic writing linking Māori knowledge and worldview to effective, site specific and resilient actions.
