The culmination of a three year multi-media project by photographer Qiane Matata-Sipu, in which she interviewed the wāhine included in NUKU; recording podcasts, videos, and photoshoots, organising live events and art exhibitions, creating a website, and publishing this book.
Short-listed for the 2022 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards for Illustrated Non-Fiction (winners to be announced 11 May 2022).
“The power of storytelling is evident in our earliest pūrākau. Stories can change the world. It is how our tūpuna passed on their knowledge, the blueprint for living well, for generations.
Through telling their stories, the women in this book seek to influence the world around them. The youngest is 14 and the eldest is in her mid-70s. They are wāhine Māori, Moriori, Pasifika, Melanesian, Wijadjuri, Himalayan and Mexican”.
We need your help to continue providing a year-round programme of online reviews, interviews, portfolios, videos and listings that is free for everyone to access. We’d also like to dream bigger with the services we offer to photographers and the visual arts.
