MOKO - MAORI TATTOO: Photographs by Hans Neleman

January 17 – March 15, 2020

Large-format portraits by Dutch-born artist Hans Neleman depict contemporary Maori men and women whose facial or body tattoos express individual, family, and tribal identity. The traditional art of Maori tattooing, once suppressed under colonial rule, has undergone a resurgence as New Zealand’s Maori reassert their cultural traditions. This exhibition of more than 20 images is drawn from Neleman's 1999 book project of the same title.
