Mātauranga Toi Māori – Bachelor of Fine Arts

About

Specialise in Mātauranga Toi Māori for your Bachelor of Fine Arts at Massey

The Mātauranga Toi Māori major enables you to ground your practice within mātauranga Māori as an alternative to some of the other courses within the Fine Arts programme. You will develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to encourage the potential of Mātauranga Toi Māori within the landscape of the creative arts.

Offered as a new major, subjects within this pathway are delivered through a mixed mode of learning including wānanga, noho marae, studio classes and online delivery.

Te Rau Karamu Marae will be your kāinga where you will be nourished by the mahi toi, kōrero tuku iho, karakia, waiata, and manaakitanga. Your experience in these courses will empower and connect you to becoming an indigenous creative practitioner.
