‘Curio from the Colonial Era, Lithograph, 2011’

Titokowaru’s Dilemma

31 March – 10 June, 2012
Main Exhibition Gallery, Puke Ariki

 

Titokowaru’s Dilemma shines light into the murky world of myth making. Marian Maguire’s beautiful lithographs and etchings explore Taranaki history, challenging simplistic readings of the past by taking Riwha Tītokowaru and placing him with the gods and philosophers of ancient Greece.

This exhibition asks ‘What is myth?’, ‘What is history?’and ‘Who decides?’
