Kōrero Toi: Māori and Indigenous Artist Talks
Nā Regan Balzer
We are proud to announce the launch of the Te Ātinga Toi Māori YouTube channel, with the Kōrero Toi webinar series recorded live from 8 April – 8 July 2022, now available for viewing.
Kōrero Toi showcases the large, indigenous, visual artist networks and relationships built over three decades of Te Ātinga. A unique and insightful series, Kōrero Toi comprises of fourteen videos featuring thirty-three artists, educators and curators, highly recognised in their respective fields, who share first-hand about their creative practices and journeys in the arts. Hosted by Regan Balzer (Te Ātinga committee member and artist), with technical support by Dorothy Waetford (Te Ātinga committee member and artist), these videos are a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about Contemporary Māori and Indigenous Arts.
