The Blue Dome by Selina Ershadi is Artspace Aotearoa’s current exhibition, which continues in the gallery's exploration of their annual question, “Which History?” Selina Ershadi is an Iranian-born, Tāmaki-based artist who primarily works amongst a practice of experimental filmmaking and writing. Drawing from personal histories and lineages of storytelling through acts of documentation, and the navigation of familial archives.
Within The Blue Dome, Ershadi presents various foraged visual material and audio that draw from her two recent trips back to Tehran. Constructing these complex autobiographical works that speak to moments of lived reality and attempts of self-orientation. Although autobiographical in nature, these works complicate this idea of the linear narrative of autobiographical filmmaking and storytelling. Shifting the linear concept/framework of the documentary, through Ershadi's experimental approach to the capturing of imagery and dialogues, as well as the construction of the film itself. Allowing for these slips of failure to seep into the captured frame, resulting in a documentation that questions its own stability of account.
But through this instability, moments of reception appear. These intimate works that draw from Ershadi’s familial histories become open to a kind of reception–an interwinning of spaces, dialogues, and histories.
Maya caught up with Artspace Aotearoa Kai-tohu Director Ruth Buchanan about the exhibition.
Cosmologies is a new exhibition at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery, placing the practices of Nikau Hindin and Naminapu Maymuru-White in conversation with one another as two artists who share an approach to making whereby cosmology is not a metaphor but a material language; a guiding force led by indigenous knowledge pathways; a reference to law, memory, navigation, spirit energy, and ecological care.
Nikau Hindin(Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngai Tūpoto) is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural practitioner. Grounded in matauranga Māori shared across generations, her practice reflects ongoing relationships to whakapapa and te taiao – where ‘being’ is always ‘being in relation’; where knowledge is located in the body, in material, and in time. The heart of her practice centres on the revitalisation of traditional cultural practices from te ao Māori, concentrating on aute as her primary material. A collaborative labour of love, in working with aute Hindin harvests, strips, beats, and soaks its fibres across months into its final cloth-like form.
In Cosmologies, Hindin presents three beautiful artworks made of aute – one along the wall mapping stellar movements in alignment with the maramataka, and two large quilts hung as crescents encircling Naminapu Maymuru-White’s works within, creating a constellation of cosmology within the gallery space itself.
Sof had a kōrero with Nikau Hindin about Cosmologies and her overall practice.
