Ngahihi O Te Ra Bidois

Creator: Professional Speaker Ngahihi O Te Ra Bidois, wearing his manifesto on his face – a Ta Moko or traditional facial decoration of the New Zealand Maori. Purpose: A public declaration of his dedication to his identity as an indigenous Maori of New Zealand. Manifesto Source Website: http://ngahibidois.com/ Ta Moko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%81_moko

At work, we were planning an ad for a local magazine, and were trying to find pieces in the museum's collection to emphasize. One of my favorite options was this one, a Hei Tiki pendant from New Zealand, created by the Maori peoples. It is the most brilliant green (I'd describe it as a cloudy emerald color), and its eyes are made of haliotis (abalone) shell, which really shines. In New…
