Taimoana: Coastlines in Art in Aotearoa w/ Nathan Pōhio: 17 May, 2024

On April 20th a new exhibition, Taimoana: Coastlines in Art in Aotearoa, opened at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. It explores the art of Aotearoa New Zealand, locating it within Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, the wider Pacific region.

Comprised of works from the Gallery’s extensive New Zealand art collection, Taimoana explores the theme of the coast and its impact on the people of Aotearoa, examining multiple perspectives on New Zealand art.

Beth spoke with Senior Curator of Māori Art at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, Nathan Pōhio, about the exhibition and its themes.
