Emily Karaka: Rahui and the art of resistance - a podcast by RNZ

Emily Karaka's colourful post-modern expressionist paintings explore personal, political, and environmental issues, with an emphasis on the importance of matauranga Maori. One of Aotearoa's most respected artists, she spent the start of 2021 as the McCahon House Artist in Residence, living and working at French Bay where she witnessed the devastation kauri dieback is causing. The works produced during that time can be seen at her exhibition Rahui, on until 5 June at Visions Gallery in Auckland. She has also been actively involved in Maori Land Rights and Treaty Claims issues negotiation, including at Ihumatao.
