- Biography
- Ngahuia Harrison is a Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland-based artist and researcher. She completed her Master of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Art in 2012, and is a current doctoral candidate at Elam and the James Henare Māori Research Centre, University of Auckland.
Working with a 35mm camera and other lens-based media, Harrison’s images realise great narratives of hapū (subtribes) intertwined with wai (bodies of water). Successive solo and group exhibitions have considered the past and future histories of Ngātiwai landscape, examining the Māori worldview of co-dependence and reciprocity in community.
