Maori moko facial tattoos revived by a new generation with designs on the future
After brutal colonial-era efforts to suppress Maori culture, symbols of Indigenous identity are flourishing once more.
Ta moko, the art of traditional Maori tattooing, is far from vanishing – it has undergone an unprecedented resurgence. Maori wearing moko kanohi (facial tattoos) and moko kauae (the marks worn on the chin by Maori women) are present in the halls of parliament, behind the anchor desks of the evening news, on elite sports fields and in judicial chambers. Practitioners say the current renaissance has been hard-won, and offers a way to reclaim and deeply connect to Maori culture.
Traditional ta moko artist Mokonui-a-rangi Smith of the iwi or tribes Rangiwewehi, Ngati Whakaue and Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki uses an uhi or chisel to tattoo the pu?horo or upper leg traditional markings of Regan Reihana of Ngapuhi and Ngati Hine iwi or tribes. Smith works out of his studio in the Corbans Estate Art Centre in West Auckland, New Zealand. 06 June 2022.
