In New Histories Lisa Reihana and William Dunning refract and revise New Zealand history. Artworks that explore power dynamics between Māori and settler cultures and provide alternate settings for exchange, are brought together.
Reihana’s short-scripted dramas from Native Portraits n.19897, destabilise 19th century photographic styles and our understanding of who controls the camera and the narrative. Dunning’s highly detailed fictional drawings continue his investigation into the injustices of our colonial past.
New Histories is an exhibition of moving image, drawing and sculpture from two contemporary artists that reimagines our histories and questions our readings of our past.
