| Description |
Dancer Victoria Hunt grew up with little knowledge of her Maori heritage. In Dancing the Dead she recounts her visit to Tarawera Mountain, where she learnt of the loss of Hinemihi - the carved ancestral meeting house 'acquired' by the Earl of Onslow and shipped over the England over a century ago. This conversation explores ideas of displacement, embodiment of the ancestral, and reclamation of Hinemihi. |
