All cultures recall creation narratives that speak to universal questions about human existence and our place within the order of all things. The Māori creation narrative is the oldest philosophy of Aotearoa New Zealand and articulates the origin stories that Māori still recall and observe today.

The Māori creation narrative speaks of our celestial origins, understood as the realm of the gods or Ira Atua. This then connects to the terrestrial realm of humankind, Ira Tangata. Toi Tū Toi Ora is framed by the Māori creation narrative with conventional, chronological ways of presenting art history making way for a new mode of experiencing this exhibition. 

He aha te kōrero orokohanga o te Māori?

Ko tā ngā ahurea katoa he maumahara i ngā kōrero orokohanga mō ngā pātai rētō mō te tauoranga o te tangata, ā, mō tō tātou tūrangawaewae i tēnei ao. Ko te kōrero orokohanga o te Māori te iho matua tawhito rawa o Aotearoa, e whakamārama ana i ngā kōrero tuku iho e kōrerotia tonutia ana, e whakaponotia tonutia ana e te Māori i tēnei rā.
 

Ko te kōrero orokohanga o te Māori he kōrero mō te takenga mai i te rangi, koia te ao o ngā atua, arā o te Ira Atua. Kātahi ka hono tēnei ki te ao o te tangata, arā ko te Ira Tangata. E tāparetia ana aToi Tū Toi Ora e ngā kōrero orokohanga o te Māori, mā te whakataha i ngā tikanga o te whakaatu i ngā toi kōrero tuku iho mā te raupapa wā, kia kitea ai tētahi aratau wheako hou i tēnei whakaaturanga.
