Looking at a taonga (ancestral artefact) that is so familiar, yet separated from its original place and purpose can be a frustrating and painful process, especially if you feel connected to it, spiritually.

I feel a strong bond to my ancestors when I meet “artefacts”. It is like a direct line opens up with my cultural heritage, the past becomes present.

Working with museums and collections can help bridge the gaps that have opened in the process of housing, collecting and writing about indigenous peoples over the past 200 years. They could be arenas for cultural exchange, going outside the boundary of the space into everyday life.
