This was an interesting video as it talks about the connection between all the islands and ancestors. The connection between items and people, Taonga and people and the affects of the separation of items of culture and items. It also discusses the affects museums have on culture and how it came keep dieing culture alive, but how is it keep them alive. It also looks into museums responsibility with items and displaying of items. Are the items being displayed in the right way and is the right information to the items.
ocean is not a barrier it is a connecter
The video was interesting as it shows the connection between women and Tapa. It shows women who they are, the connection between nature and mother earth. It also doesn't grow in NZ, but it has a connection to New Zealand. Tapa also denigrates in the rain.
If Given as a gift, and considered a high respect. It is given on wedding day and is wrapped in when a person passes away.
The huge vaule of it is the community effort and the connection between the different communities coming together to make a Ngatu.

John Pule
John Pule was born in Niue and since 1964 has lived in Auckland. He is largely self-taught.
Pule’s art considers the Pacific; its mythologies, histories, colonisation, Christianity and migrant cultures. His work is often provocative, for example: Christ’s crucifixion revealed in his large-scale paintings as a sick, destructive influence on indigenous culture. Conceived and constructed from the imagery and material of tapa cloth, the artist’s paintings also acknowledge the dynamics of migration, procreation and settlement, and the vitality and energy of the artist’s and all Pacific people’s identity.
