Kia ora ADA whānau
We are excited to announce the 2021 ADA Symposium: Indeterminate Infrastructures; Objects, Signals & Architectures, this Saturday 4 December, online. All contributions, artworks and kōrero will be available from Saturday morning via our refreshed website ada.net.nz. At 4PM we invite you to the keynote by Rachael Rakena (Ngāi Tahu, Ngā Puhi). Rakena coined the term 'Toi Rerehiko' to centre, claim and name digital space within a Māori paradigm. Shedescribes and locates Māori digital/video/electronic-based art practice in terms of continuum, motion, and collaboration. Her art installations have evolved to enculturate and politicize water itself, navigating issues of ongoing Pacific diaspora, flooding and rising sea levels, and decolonization/(re)vitalization. Shehas used water as an amniotic medium to play out ideas of ‘otherness’, alienation, cultural loss, colonisation, immersion, and narratives of creation, desire, consumption, belonging, connectedness and ownership. Rachael co-conceived/co-curated Mana Moana, a digital/waterscreen platform bringing together leading interdisciplinary Māori and Pacific artists to collaborate, exploring relationships with the ocean, climate change, and technology through indigenous perspectives, knowledge and narratives. Please join us for the live event via this link: https://massey.zoom.us/j/87803367273 This year’s online symposium programme will feature kōrero and works by Rachael Rakena, Kedron Parker, Carl Pavletich, Pam McKinlay, Tristan Bunn, Ted Whitaker, Finn Petrie, Tim Corballis, Rumen Rachev, Sabrina Lawson, Robbie Pattinson, Paul Dunham, Tom Ludvigson, Maggie Buxton, Kim Newall, Jackson Gittings, Vicki Smith and Max Schleser.
