The Art of Maori Tattoo

This exhibition features moko, the Maori art of facial or body tattooing, and includes stunning images by Dutch-born photographer Hans Neleman.

Maori moko are distinguished by their expressions of identity—personal, social and tribal. Dating back hundreds of years, the art form is undergoing a resurgence as New Zealand’s Maori reassert their cultural tradition. The exhibition of approximately 20 large format images invites an exploration of aspects of Maori design, inspiration and contemporary culture.
