Heavenly Creatures
Verge Gallery (AU), 2018.

With Molly Rangiwai-McHale and Louisa Afoa.

Heavenly Creatures denotes divine hierarchy. In this exhibition, artists Louisa Afoa, Natasha Matila-Smith and Molly Rangiwai-McHale play with this title, fracturing an authoritative and absolute voice that denotes a purist version of culture. The artists, each from Aotearoa, New Zealand, don’t claim to speak for everyone, but represent three perspectives amongst the many diverse voices of indigenous people. Their works demonstrate that indigenous voices are diverse, complex and unexpected in their positions.  All the while resisting definition by colonial or romanticised pre-colonial standards.
