Kolloquium am Dienstag, den 9.12.2025 um 18 Uhr (Kopie 1)

Fünfeckturm, Schloss Hohentübingen

Geschnitzte Geschichten: Kunst der Māori in Aotearoa Neuseeland

Gast: Dr. Stephanie Walda-Mandel (Linden-Museum Stuttgart)

Abstrakt: Die Kunst der Māori ist eng mit ihrer kulturellen Identität, Geschichte und Spiritualität verwoben. Dieser Vortrag bietet einen Einblick in die traditionellen künstlerischen Praktiken, die zu den Taonga („Schätzen“) führten, und zeigt, wie heutige Māori-Künstler:innen diese traditionellen Elemente mit zeitgenössischen Ausdrucksformen verbinden, um auf aktuelle gesellschaftliche Fragen zu reagieren. 

Die Vortragsreihe wird zusammen mit dem Museum der Universität Tübingen (MUT) und als Begleitprogramm zur Ausstellung Te Pou o Hinematioro – Celebrating Māori Heritage, Culture and Connection organisiert.

Te Pou o Hinematioro – Māori Heritage, Culture and Connection

a co-curated exhibition of community Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti, Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology and Museum of University of Tübingen

Students and staff of Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology are warmly invited to the opening together with our friends of Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti from New Zealand on Thursday, 23rd of October at 6 p.m. Rittersaal, Schloss Hohentübingen! 

24. October 2025 - 29. March 2026

The exhibition was created in close collaboration between the Māori community Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti from Ūawa/Tolaga Bay (New Zealand) and the University of Tübingen. At its heart stands the carved pou Hinematioro Pou, which came to Europe in 1769 during James Cook’s first voyage. For the community, it is far more than an exhibit - it embodies ancestors, genealogy (whakapapa), spiritual authority (mana), and cultural treasures (taonga).
