Gisborne, New Zealand - Tairawhiti Museum - 26 February 2014
Description: Gisborne, New Zealand - Tairawhiti Museum - 26 February 2014
Te Reo Debate Tairawhiti Museum
While The Gisborne Herald’s strength is local news, the paper also has extensive coverage of sport, national, international and business news, as well as regular speciality sections covering everything from youth and motoring to farming, arts and entertainment. The Gisborne Herald is read daily by over 61 percent of the region’s population aged 15 years and over, and in any given week 83 percent of people will read at least one edition of The Gisborne Herald. More than 82 percent of our readers read no other daily newspaper. What’s more, The Gisborne Herald is New Zealand’s only compact daily newspaper, a format that is hugely popular with readers. And although she may be getting on a bit, she’s no slouch. The Herald’s news-gathering team operates from a shiny new open plan newsroom that was designed to help them take the paper into the future. There has also been considerable investment in engaging the local, national and global community through our website, which attracts viewers from over 100 countries, including New Zealand (67.8 percent), Australia (17.7), the United Kingdom (4.6) and the United States (3.8).

To Be Pacific - Tairawhiti Museum
WHEN invited to write an article for Polynesian-focused magazine Spasifik, Lina Marsh was stuck. She wanted to focus on the Pacific community in Gisborne but, with no population figures having been released since the 2006 Census, she could not estimate the size of that community, its make-up, or its concerns.
What is known is that, back in 2006, the number of local Pacific people was listed at 1299 — just 2.7 percent of the region's population. But it had grown a healthy 14.2 percent since the previous Census in 2001, as compared to regional growth of 1.1 percent. So the local Pacifica population is growing and, as a member, New Zealand-raised Niuean artist Marsh thought she would do something to acknowledge that. I felt this growing concern that there wasn't really a lot going on for the Pacifica community, she said. I thought it was a wonderful opportunity to put together a collection of work by Pacific Island artists for a major exhibition. That was two years ago and tomorrow that exhibition, To Be Pacific, opens in Tairawhiti Museum's main gallery, showcasing work by 20 established and emerging artists.
As well as curating the show Marsh's own work is included.
Building on her leaning towards referencing the domestic in her work, she has made an installation of metal plates, each blocked out with white paint and decorated with delicately intricate references to the Pacific Islands. Media from painting and printmaking to photography and sculpture are installed and other local artists are represented, too — among them Kahu Falaoa, Christie Patumaka, Manu Caddie and Fili Taylor, who now lives in Auckland.
There is also a large number of works by out-of-town artists including Niki Hastings- McFall, Glenda Vilisoni, Leanne Clayton, Cee Palalagi, Aniva Fitisemanu, Dagmar Dyck, Nanette Lela'ulu, Loloma Andrews, Merisa Bickerstaff, Siliga David Setoga, Chris Van Doren, Sylvia Masters, Anita Jacobsen, Grace Taylor and Sheyne Tuffery. Though the exhibition celebrates Pacific Island culture we wanted it to be welcoming to all sectors of our community, Marsh said.

Tairawhiti Museum extension opening the 'realisation of a dream'
AFTER decades of service to Tairawhiti Museum, now-Auckland resident Sheila Robinson said there was one event for which she had to come home. This is extraordinary, she said of last night's launch of the nearly $2 million- dollar extension to the museum.
This is what we always dreamed of. The launch marked the start of a weekend of celebrations for the new facility, which nearly doubles the gallery and provides more than 200 square metres of underground storage space. It all came from a germ of an idea, said museum board chairman Michael Muir. Mr Muir recalled how museum patron Professor Jack Richards first brought up the idea of a space to share his extensive collection of decorative art works. With Professor Richards' input, it was thought that such a gallery could work with a Maori Battalion C Company space that was already in the planning. As it turned out, C Company guardians Nga Tama Toa Trust has built its own facility next door. It will open in October.
This in itself was cause for celebration, said Mr Muir, who acknowledged the input of former director David Butts, who travelled from Wellington for last night's launch. Without the support of our funders, we would not be here today, says Mr Muir. We cannot rest now the extensions have been completed. Look out for more exhibitions, work on the collections with improved displays and onwards to 2019, and the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the visit of the Endeavour. The opening of the Tairawhiti Museum extension was an emotional event for major sponsor Professor Jack Richards, who has sunk more than $350,000 into the project. A major part of the extension is the Jack C Richards Decorative Arts Gallery, which will show various parts of Dr Richards' collection of art glass, textiles, prints and paintings. Dr Richards recalled how, having left Gisborne for Wellington to study for his academic future, he was first exposed to the decorative arts. This is something I want to share with my community.

Paul Nache - Parallel Lines by Matthew Couper
'Parallel Lines' brings together the seemingly disparate works of artists represented by PAULNACHE in Gisborne, New Zealand. The installation of artworks creates a visual representation of timelines, slipstreams, jetsteams, tracks and paths alluding to the variable ways that artists interact visually, conceptually, locally and globally.
Much like Jorge Luis Borges's seminal short story The Garden of Forking Paths where a multiplicity of narratives run together to create an overarching structure, Parallel Lines traces multiple narratives around the perimeter of the gallery walls and in turn creates a wider narrative pursuing concepts of glocalization - a newly coined term, blending globalization and localization referring to a concept describing individual, group, organization, product or service that reflects not only global standard but also local one.

Te Ha Sestercentennial - First meetings commemorated
A GATHERING to mark 2017 events to commemorate the first formal contact between Maori and European here in 1769 was held this morning near the mouth of Waikanae Stream. Speakers stood near the site Rongowhakaata warriors performed a haka on October 9, 1769, while watched by Captain James Cook, Tahitian navigator Tupaia, scientists and marines.
Ringatu spiritual leader Charlie Pera and Reverend Stephen Donald led karakia (prayer). Kaumatua Owen Lloyd talked about intertwined bloodlines between Maori and European. “The intertwining of bloodlines is the beginning of a new race of people,” he said. Mayor Meng Foon said Rongowhakaata and Captain Cook could not have imagined a Chinese mayor in this region. “The world is our oyster,” he said. “It’s a beautiful clear day. When the first waka came here they would have said ‘this is paradise’.” Te Ha 1769 Sestercentennial Trust chairman Richard Brooking said each October the district commemorated the Endeavour’s 1769 arrival and the first formal meetings between Maori and European. Consequences of meetings “We also acknowledge the consequences of those first meetings. In 2019 we will remember the 250th anniversary of those events.” Gisborne Highland Pipe Band led the gathering in a procession to Waikanae Surf Life Saving Club for a shared breakfast. The second Te Ha Art Awards and Exhibition will be held from 5.30pm today at Tairawhiti Museum. The theme is the impact of settlement on flora and fauna, and four awards worth $6000 will be presented. Tomorrow night there are two musical events: The Maori Sidesteps at the War Memorial Theatre and the ExNE concert featuring nine original artists at Smash Palace. Sunday’s events start mid-morning at the Cook Landing Site National Historic Reserve where Department of Conservation biodiversity ranger Graeme Atkins will discuss the ecology, habitat and medicinal uses of plants Banks and Solander collected from this district. Participants are encouraged to bring along 20 snails from their gardens in exchange for kaka beak seeds and information on how to grow them. From 1pm to 3pm on Sunday, Historic Places Tairawhiti Inc will hold its second First Meetings Korero talkfest about the first meetings here. Ten speakers will have five minutes each to talk about What’s in a Name? From 4pm on Sunday, Young Enterprise team Project Ataahua will unveil its commissioned public artwork in the Bright Street car park, opposite the War Memorial Theatre. The artwork was created by Nick Tupara and Phil Berry. An exhibition of sculptural works by Niuean Maori object artist Lina Marsh about the abundance and depletion of flora and fauna will run at various places in the city throughout the weekend.

Toi Tāmanuhiri Powhiri at te Tairāwhiti Museum - 15/12/14
E tu Tāmanuhiri ... Maranga
The opening of Toi Tāmanuhiri kei Tairāwhiti Whare Taonga
Tino mihi mahana ki te Whanau tautoko o te Whare Taonga
A warm welcoming to the opening of our exhibition - hari koa te ngakau - tino miharo
A very joyful experience for us all
nga mihi - enjoy
Nei rā te mihi, te mihi nunui, te mihi mahana ki a koutou. Piki mai, kake mai ki a Toi Tāmanuhiri.
Koinei te whakakitenga e pā ana te iwi o Ngāi Tāmanuhiri. Mai i ngā rā o mua, tae noa atu ki ngā ra a muri, i whakapuakitia te tikanga, ngā kōrero, ngā waiata, ngā wawata hoki mō mātou whānau.
Ko tō mātou hikoi i ngā tau tekau i pahi, he mea whakamārama, he mea mamae, he mea wewete hoki. Kua whawhai mātou, kua tau mātou ngā take e pā ana ki te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Heoi, kua tae mai te wa, kia whakanui o ō mātou Tupuna, Whānau, Mokopuna hoki.
Kua ora ake te iwi o Ngāi Tāmanuhiri.
Toi Tāmanuhiri has been born from a desire to express the history, stories, songs and aspirations of our Whanau, from the past, the present and perceptions of the future. Our journey in recent decades has been illuminating, painful and liberating as we fought for and then settled historic breaches to the Treaty of Waitangi. The time has arrived to celebrate our Tupuna, Whanau and Mokopuna.
We have survived.
Mahana Movie Premiere Gisborne New Zealand
More than 300 people last night gathered in a closed-off block of Gladstone Road for the Gisborne premiere of Mahana, in which Keefe, 15, makes his film debut. Director Lee Tamahori’s first New Zealand film in more than 20 years.
Mahana is based on Witi Ihimaera’s 1994 novel Bulibasha: King Of The Gypsies and — set in his hometown of Gisborne — is about the rivalry between two warring families on the rural East Coast.The Gisborne premiere was the most important of them all, Ihimaera told the crowd after he and the other members of “te Mahana film tribe” arrived in period-appropriate classic cars.Mahana last night opened in 92 theatres around New Zealand and in Gisborne alone will over the next couple of weeks have seats for an audience of 2000, he said.“So if there are any people in New Zealand who don’t know where Uawa is, where Waituhi is, where Gisborne is, they soon will.”In tribute to his late parents Tom and Julia Smiler, who get a nod in the film with the “Smiler’s” dairy in the fictional version of Patutahi township, Ihimaera said the film was for them “and all the other mums and dads who were the kings and queens of shearing in Turanga (Gisborne)”.He added to the praise Keefe has been receiving since the film debuted at the Berlin International Film Festival.“We are so very proud to have Augs in his first role and the critics are already raving. He has a pure heart and that’s why all his whanau is here to support him.”Also at last night’s premiere were producer Robin Scholes, who worked with Tamahori on Kiwi classic Once Were Warriors, Gisborne-born cultural adviser Haare Williams and actor Temuera Morrison, who plays the domineering patriarch of the Mahana family.After extending apologies from the absent Tamahori, Scholes said it was “a privilege to be part of bringing Mahana home”.“Without Witi’s book, Lee’s talent as a filmmaker and the work of Temuera, Augs and the rest of the wonderful cast, this would never have happened.”For the premiere, one of the Odeon’s theatres was packed out with Ihimaera’s Te Whanau-a-Kai/Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki whanau and Keefe’s supporters from the East Coast. Paying guests filled another.Whoops, cheers and whistles greeted the rollicking “Maori Western” movie which, as star Temuera Morrison pointed out, takes audiences back to 1960s New Zealand.

Gisborne | Wainui | Makarori | Sponge Bay | Waikanae | Midway |Rere Falls | Rere Rockslide | Morere
Here goes the full length version of our trip to Gizzy. Lots of time in and around water. Gisborne is a small seaside city with a relaxed way of life, with cool people who love and are very talented at their water sports. Because the main State Highway bypasses this location it is often missed by our foreign visitors, which is a shame because there is so much more to see and do here and all the way up the East Coast of the North Island of NZ. I was only in town for two days to compile this video, however there are still good wine tours, a cool little museum if you're into that type of stuff. But most importantly this location (including the entire East Coast) has a rich heritage of Maori culture that can be sought out if you look hard enough.
