== Love Notes ==

Happy Friday Lovelies! I realize this recap is for weds and thursday but I'm gonna roll with it! I hope the rest of the week was kinder to you than the previous parts of the week. Please know we're thinking of you crew, it's okay if you're keeping low on the radar of fandom at the moment. It's also great if you're out honking your nose off! Whatever you're doing is what you need to do, and don't let anyone tell you any different. I know sometimes it seems like things just keep getting worse, lovelies, the world is a chaotic place, and it's okay to sit with your feelings and feel that. Just remember you're loved and it can and will get better one day. There will always be high points and low points in this life, that's just how it goes, but how you cope with those points changes for the better each and every time they pass. Remember you are wonderful, and you are strong, and you're gonna get through whatever you're dealing with, okay? Sending love and hugs, and all the good vibes into your weekend <3

Happy Taranaki Anniversary Day!

Taranaki Anniversary Day is a provincial holiday observed in New Zealand and if you’re lucky to live in this beautiful region, you’re getting a day off work! Super sunny today so what more could you want 🙂 This day commemorates the creation of the Taranaki province. Originally called New Plymouth province, it was renamed to Taranaki in 1859 after the tribal group to the west of Mount Egmont…

Rongo-mā-Tāne or Rongo-marae-roa is the Maori God (Atua) of Cultivation, dealing specifically with Kumara (sweet potato) one of the most important foods of Maori culture. Taro, gourds, yams and other root-like vegetables were also cultivated in Maori culture. Rongo also held domain over war, and the peace that comes after. In war tribes, operated under Tumatauenga (meaning war) and ended their conflict under Rongo (meaning peace) or Maunga-a-Rongo. Other words include Ho-Hou-te-Rongo (peace negotiations) and Rongo-taketake (lasting peace).

🍑 (x32) Wow, what an epic event! Thanks to @positivelybare for a tau kē out-of-body (or should that be out-of-clothing) diverse body positive experience. ⁣That’s me at the end, far right!

🍑 ⁣

It was great to be amongst a whole lotta skin confident brave peeps willing to bare all at sunset despite the persistent buffeting cold wind through the shoot.⁣

🍑 ⁣

The energy, exactly like when I participated in the Spencer Tunick Bondi Beach shoot, was electric. When you’re finally given the go ahead to strip everyone knows it’s the point of no return. It’s all in! We’re all suddenly encountering each other on a level playing field and willing to share our raw vulnerability. ⁣

🍑 ⁣

The laughter, cheering and joking spirit peeps brought along with the out loud shouts of encouraging words like “tropical! hot! warm! sunny! balmy!” really helped distract from our numb toes and fingers!⁣

🍑 ⁣

The moments between photos where we all scrambled back to our spots to dive back into our puffer jackets, sleeping bag or furry blankets for temporary warmth were gold. Then we did it all over again and again. No one looks glamorous barefooting it across uneven rocky outcrops but we didn’t care!⁣

🍑 ⁣

Big ups to all those that participated. Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei. Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain. This whakataukī is about aiming high for what is truly valuable, but its real message is to be persistent and to not let obstacles stop you from reaching your goal. Events like this and the good work that groups like @getnakedaustralia do help battle those negative voices inside and out that can make loving ourselves challenging. Well, that’s certainly the case for me! Ngā mihi Brendan, Lauren and Michael. ⁣

🍑 ⁣

[danipetersen]

As opposed to the previous poster, i tried to use as much space as i could. While reading the maori proverb "whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei", there were some words i felt held so much value and should be arranged in a way that showed their value. "Seek" starts off the proverb therefore i emphasised its presence through colouring it a nice blue and included pupils in both the 'e's'. To enforce it further, i thought it an interesting idea to position eyes crafted out of eclipses around the poster. There was a part of the translation that caught my attention and it was "let it be a lofty mountain". Therefore i attempted to bring the mountain to life by drawing lines and then typing on those lines, placing the text in different angles of the mountain. I then typed mountain at the very bottom of the poster and coloured it green. However, this poster may appear a bit messy and chaotic due to the limited space. The overall balance of the poster seems a little off as a result of the different sized text and how the imagery affects their size.

[tintin-official]

my home mountain is finally getting the legal recognition it deserves and is being handed back over from crown control to the local māori it was stolen from!

tena koe, te kāhui tupua!!!!

[ayin-me-yesh]

Ok on the one hand I'm glad this te reo Māori class is acknowledging that it's not appropriate for Pākehā to claim maunga, awa, and other landmarks as "theirs" and do a Māori-style pepeha... But instead it's got a YouTube video of a wahine Pākehā saying everyone's indigenous to somewhere and that European settlers are indigenous to Europe and just ;_;

[hastohurtifitstoheal]

E ai ki tētahi matakite tuauri ka puta mai ‘ngā manu mātauranga e rua’ ki runga ake i te tihi o Taranaki. Ko aua ‘manu e rua’ ko Te Whiti-o-Rongomai rāua ko Tohu Kākahi – nā rāua te hapori whakamārie o Parihaka i whakatū i te pūtake o te Maunga o Taranaki, he punanga i whakaruruhau i ngā Māori i haukerekerehia ai i ngā raupatu whenua o ngā tekautau o 1860. Ko rāua ngā kaihautū o te ātetenga whakamārie ki te whakahēnga o te Karauna i te tino rangatiratanga Māori, ki te horomi haere a tauiwi i te whenua Māori.

Kei te heke te pō i te Resurrection of Te Whiti Over Taranaki, 1975–77. Kei te ū tonu te Maunga o Taranaki hei tohu o te mana o te iwi o Taranaki. Kei te pupuri te manu kōrero, a Te Whiti, i te raukura, he awe toroa e tohu ana i tōna kaupapa, arā, te maungārongo me te ngākau aroha.

He kaikawerongo, he ringa toi hoki, a Selwyn Muru, ā, kua arotahi ia ki te whakapāho i te tirohanga Māori e pā ana ki te hītori, ki ngā āhuatanga o te wā, ki ngā takakinotanga e haere ake nei, e haere ake nei. Ko ēnei toi peita e rua, he wāhanga nō tētahi huinga toi peita e 37 i oti ai i a Selwyn whai muri atu i tōna haerenga ki Parihaka i te wā o te hui nui mā ngā ringa toi me ngā ringa tuhi i Waitara, i te tau 1975. I te wā o te whakaaturanga i te tau 1979 ka puta te wawata o Muru kia tū āna toi hei pou whakamauru i ngā raruraru kei waenga i te Māori me te Pākehā mā te wānanga: ‘Ko tā te marae he whakaōrite i te tangata. Ko te tūmanako ia, ka pērātia tā te whare whakairi toi.’

An ancient prophecy foretold the appearance of ‘two birds of knowledge’ over the peak of Taranaki. These ‘two birds’, Te Whiti-o-Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi established the pacifist community of Parihaka, on the foothills of Mount Taranaki, which offered hope and refugee for Māori who suffered land confiscations in the 1860s. They led their people in a peaceful resistance against the Crown’s denial of Māori sovereign rights and settler immigrants’ encroachment on Māori land.

Night is falling in Resurrection of Te Whiti Over Taranaki, 1975–77. Mount Taranaki, the symbol of the Taranaki people’s mana (power) remains steadfast. Master orator Te Whiti, holds the raukura, three albatross feathers, symbolic of peace and goodwill that he preaches.

As both a journalist and artist, Selwyn Muru has focused on communicating Māori perspectives of history, contemporary life and ongoing injustices. These two paintings are part of a suite of 37 paintings that Selwyn produced after visiting Parihaka during the 1975 Māori artists and writers hui in Waitara. At the time of their exhibition in 1979, Muru expressed his hope that his work could assist in reconciling conflicts between Māori and Pākehā through the promotion of dialogue: ‘The marae is a great leveller. Hopefully the gallery will be one too.'

translating a bunch of whakataukī into my kel dor conlang as a way of both fleshing out the vocab and training myself on te reo grammar <3333

On the section of Māori Made Easy I'm up to studying, I need to memorise my pepeha. Thing is, I'm pretty sure Pākeha don't have pepeha, right? I'm pretty sure the version we can use is called a mihimihi, but someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Mihi below the cut:

Tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna koutou katoa.

Ko Kapukataumahaka te maunga Ko Puke Haukea te awa Ko Ngāti Pākeha te iwi Nō Ōtepoti ahau Ko Maree rāua ko Richard ōku mātua Ko Sam tōku ingoa

Nō reira, Tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna koutou katoa.

The extraordinary exhibition of Selwyn Ruru’s works (Ruru for short). At Mt Cecilia Park Pah homestead gallery in Hillsborough.

Explores elements of ranginui and papatūānuku (sky father and earth mother respectively), of Māori justice and cultural markers that were damaged due to violent acts of colonisation, brutality and injustice. The glossary given was a beautiful summation of key elements within different works, translated in a simplified version in English.

My works look at themes of rongo wairua (or the spirit of peace). Using Māori language in art practice is a way to decolonize work from the limitations that English language places on work that concerns itself with the whenua (land) of Aotearoa. My work is made in Tamaki Makaurau and therefore should respect the language of this place especially in regards to spiritual processes.

Works of mention in Ruru’s practice:

This body of work includes a number of different mediums, each a testament to the breadth of his legacy as an orator, activist, visual artist, broadcaster, playwright, musician and actor (amongst other things!). In perusing the collection, I was struck by the versatility of our Māori artists – particularly in light of Muru and his contemporaries. Amongst this generation, so many actions exist that have shaped the social landscape we find ourselves both witnessing and, in our own contemporary context, navigating now. Highlights include the paintings Half-caste Ruru (2002) and Maunga Piko (1999), which are an honouring of the role that kaitiaki play in our lives, and the whakapapa that connects us to our whenua. I was also particularly taken by the Untitled Figures (circa 1985), having spent a significant portion of time letting my eyes follow the lines as they mimic the shapes of traditional whakairo patterns.
