Description:Since the 1950s, a new wave of immigrants from all over the Pacific have come to New Zealand’s shores, bringing their own cultures, customs, and values. Some of these have been maintained or transformed to suit the conditions and circumstances of a new country and community, while others have been discarded.Today, many Pacific people maintain strong social, spiritual, and family ties to their homeland at the same time as seeking to establish and understand their new connections to this land – New Zealand; nowhere is this more explored than in the arts.Pacific Art Niu Sila highlights some of the ways that Pacific peoples have contributed to New Zealand arts from the 1950s to the present day. This book also provides a snapshot of contemporary practice across the arts, discussing what is and has been important and relevant in different genres.
