Opportunity to learn about an indigenous art form

  • 2023-10-05
Interest in the culture of other peoples has never been more prevalent as we seek to understand our place in the world, embracing our differences and similarities. The people of Slacks Creek will soon have an opportunity to learn more about the traditional practise of tattooing, as carried out by the Maori.

One of the most successful female practitioners of Ringawhao/Moko, Joni, is coming to the Hokohoko Depot to showcase the origins of the art form of Moko and the journey that has been an important part of reclaiming identity for Maoris all over the world.

Joni believes in teaching an audience about Moko in order to further understand the art form. She has created a beautiful digital presentation to support the physicality of her work as a Ringawhao. Moko is about genealogy and history, so has more meaning imbued than perhaps some of the more decorative western tattoos. It is becoming more commonplace to see Maori television presenters, politicians and celebrities with traditional face markings, rightly proud of their heritage. On the information evening, there will likely be intricate Logo Design on any paperwork to reflect the Maori markings. Colourful brochure printing will accompany the exhibition.

Te Whare Korero Moko takes place on Tuesday 3rd October, from 6pm until 9pm, at the Hokohoko Depot. This venue can be found at 49 Rowland Street, Slacks Creek, QLD 4127, and tickets cost $75.
