Enter and explore the powerful, ancestral world of the whare
whakairo, or decorated Maori meeting house, with this engaging
guide. Richly illustrated with more than 100 historical and
contemporary photographs and original watercolour illustrations,
The Maori Meeting House celebrates every aspect of these
magnificent taonga (treasures) - their history and art forms,
symbolism and cultural significance. In a clear, informative and
personal narrative, Damian Skinner brings together existing
scholarship on whare whakairo and his own reflections as a Pakeha
art historian and curator, with reference to meeting houses from
all over Aotearoa New Zealand and the world. The voices of carvers,
artists, architects, writers, experts and iwi are woven into the
text, to give every reader new ways of seeing these taonga -
whether it is your first view or your hundredth. Equal parts
history, personal essay and illustrated guidebook, The Maori
Meeting House is an important contribution to contemporary
discussions about Maori art and art history.
