| Summary: | From a Taranaki Maaori perspective, the purpose of this research project is to undertake an in-‐depth photographic and moving image study exploring transmissions of ways of knowing Te Ao Maaori social and cultural conventions and behaviour. These cultural socializations can be clustered together as Tikanga -‐ right ways to behave and to learn. These conventions provide an insight to family values and Tikanga. My research focuses on my biological parents, adopted parent, kaumatua and kuia (elders), ancestors and how their values are grounded in family, cultural dynamics and tradition. My objective is to document these values and innate practices that take place and are transmitted within domestic and vehicular social environments and spaces. The silences, gaps and spaces in between spoken words and actions, are central to my visual and aural investigation of how knowledge is transmitted. The everyday conversation between family members is used as the raw material for photographic and sound recordings to form a personal archive of cultural knowing. |
