Abstract: Rosanna Raymond is a performance/

and writer. A New Zealand-born
Pacific Islander of Samoan descent,
she is currently living and working
in London with her family.
A founding member of the acclaimed

or storyteller at heart, Raymond’s
work takes a variety of forms ranging
from installation works to spoken
word to body adornment, with
pieces held in gallery, museum and
private collections around the
world.
She has forged a role over the past
fifteen years as a producer and

urban Pacific Island culture, fusing
traditional practises with modern
innovations and techniques.
Raymond specialises in customising
the images with her own drawings
that tell stories of the work.

      <description>Title: South, image 1
Authors: Pinker, James
Abstract: James Pinker is a sound and multimedia artist living in Auckland.
His work in this exhibition is from a collaboration with English artist Mark McClean. South is a photographic project that features images made in a portable studio in Otara, South Auckland in 2003. Over a period of two days they
randomly asked passers-by to be photographed. South has been
shown at Te Tuhi gallery, Auckland and at the Ivan Docherty Gallery in NSW, Australia.
Description: "It is very rare to do a snapshot of a community in a positive way. We came up with the idea when eating fish and chips in Otara. This is the community that wandered past on those days; we didn't include or exclude anyone. We wanted to focus on the actual people, the positive". - James Pinker, 2005.</description>

      <title>Souvenir scarf, 2003</title>
      <link>http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk:80/handle/1810/183839</link>
      <description>Title: Souvenir scarf, 2003
Authors: Robertson, Natalie
Abstract: Natalie Robertson (Ngati Porou/Clan Donnachaidh) is a photomedia artist and educator. Her work has been exhibited in public institutions throughout Australasia and internationally over the past decade.
Descended from the Ngati Porou iwi or tribe, Robertson is a trustee and acts as a kaitiaki (guardian) of Maori land blocks on the East Coast of New Zealand, a role she has inherited from her grandfather, David Hughes.
Robertson’s work is held in many significant public collections
including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and
the Auckland City Art Gallery. She is Programme Co-ordinator of
Maori Art and Design in the Faculty of Maori Development, Te
Ara Poutama and the School of Art and Design at Auckland University of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand, teaching on the Master of Arts (Visual) in the School of Art and Design.
Description: “For this series, I sourced a number of vintage satin and polyester scarves that depict maps of New Zealand, cultural motifs, artifacts, flora and fauna, from op-shops, Mum’s cupboard, aunties and discerning collectors of kitsch. My aim was to transform them from decorative yet functional items into framed photographic images, therefore reconfiguring these familiar items beyond their domestic and sartorial applications.
The photographs restore the scarves to a position of artifact and
reinforce the shonky mapping characteristics. Dating from mid-20th century they recall journeys and holiday destinations or the travels of relatives who have sent these easily-transported
souvenirs. For me, the scarves present a conundrum - that of blatant cultural appropriation and insensitivities, coupled with luscious kitschness.” - Natalie Robertson, 2006.</description>

The photographs restore the scarves to a position of artifact and reinforce the shonky mapping characteristics. Dating from mid-20th century they recall journeys and holiday destinations or the travels of relatives who have sent these easily-transported souvenirs. For me, the scarves present a conundrum - that of blatant cultural appropriation and insensitivities, coupled with luscious kitschness.” - Natalie Robertson, 2006.</description>

Authors: Robertson, Natalie
Abstract: Natalie Robertson (Ngati Porou/Clan Donnachaidh) is a photomedia artist and educator. Her work has been exhibited in public institutions throughout Australasia and internationally over the past decade. Descended from the Ngati Porou iwi or tribe, Robertson is a trustee and acts as a kaitiaki (guardian) of Maori land blocks on the East Coast of New Zealand, a role she has inherited from her grandfather, David Hughes. Robertson’s work is held in many significant public collections including the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and the Auckland City Art Gallery. She is Programme Co-ordinator of Maori Art and Design in the Faculty of Maori Development, Te Ara Poutama and the School of Art and Design at Auckland University of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand, teaching on the Master of Arts (Visual) in the School of Art and Design.
Description: “For this series, I sourced a number of vintage satin and polyester scarves that depict maps of New Zealand, cultural motifs, artifacts, flora and fauna, from op-shops, Mum’s cupboard, aunties and discerning collectors of kitsch. My aim was to transform them from decorative yet functional items into framed photographic images, therefore reconfiguring these familiar items beyond their domestic and sartorial applications. The photographs restore the scarves to a position of artifact and reinforce the shonky mapping characteristics. Dating from mid-20th century they recall journeys and holiday destinations or the travels of relatives who have sent these easily-transported souvenirs. For me, the scarves present a conundrum - that of blatant cultural appropriation and insensitivities, coupled with luscious kitschness.” - Natalie Robertson, 2006.</description>
