The young generation beating new life into tapa cloth
Update: 2024-11-24
Description
Ngatu, siapo, aute, masi, tapa… just some of the names from across the Pacific for barkcloth which reflect the rich variety of bark used and working processes. .
Tapa is having a moment in the art gallery - both as an extraordinarily vital traditional media in use across the Pacific and also as a discipline being re-energised by a new generation of makers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Artists are carrying forward distinct island cultural traditions, and speaking to their own sense of place in the world.
