Brett Graham
Brett Graham conceives of his Māori whakapapa as a Pasifika/Moana identity affiliated with a global network of indigenous and non-Western peoples. From this foundation, his work engages with histories of imperialism and global indigenous issues.
The British colonisation of Graham’s homeland, Aotearoa New Zealand, during the era of European expansionism was a process predicated on assumptions of racial, religious, cultural and technical superiority. Presented in this Triennial, the works in Graham’s Tai Moana Tai Tangata provide portals to this time.
