As Ngāti Īnia, I was incredibly honoured to be invited to exhibit in Ko te au whenua, ko te whenua ko au. This honour came with a lot of responsibility which I embraced, and in doing so has led me further in my personal journey of discovery and understanding of my own indigeneity, as well as my responsibilities as an indigenous woman standing in a space that is not mine by right, a space to hold, in a land a world away from my ancestral homelands. 

My research has taken me from Te Whiti o Rongomai and Parihaka to Mahatma Gandi and the Dandi March in India, following the threads that birthed the independence of a nation … and then back from India to Aotearoa following the ancient migration routes out of the Indus Valley and into the west, across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa to Aotearoa.  

In this work, I bring it all together, who and where I come from, alongside who I’ve become, for as surely as we shape the land, the land shapes us.
