Author(s): Crafts Council Of New Zealand

NZ Art & Artists | Secondhand

Mau Mahara – Our Stories in Craft is the Crafts Council of New Zealand's contribution to the 1990 commemorations marking 150 years since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi by its partners. The traditions and aspirations of our peoples are found together in Mau Mahara, an exhibition to play tribute to the energies that have shaped New Zealand Craft.

"The book focuses on the variety of stories told around the craft objects, exploring such themes as the handing on of skills and knowledge, reverence of past skills and ways of life, the spirituality invested in the object, its function, and its expression of community meanings and national identity."
