Natalie Robertson's photomedia art practice honours Maui, ancestor and discoverer of Te Ika a Maui, the North Island of Aotearoa (New Zealand), and proposes a playground for trickster discourse, consciousness and narrative. Over the past decade Natalie has been making photographic and moving image works that contest colonial survey mapping practices. Recently she has been creating moving image works that explore oral storytelling through moteatea (traditional chant), waiata (song) and korero (talk). Of Ngati Porou descent, Natalie is a trustee and acts as a kaitiaki (guardian) of Maori land blocks on the East Coast of New Zealand.
