[additionalDescriptionItem] => Catalogue Synopsis:
This fascinating documentary examines a theme common to the African, the Eskimo, the American Indian and other cultures invaded by the influences of European settlers - should indigenous art promote an understanding of traditional forms at a time when traditions are being forgotten and values discarded; or should changing experiences and new influences be reflected so that this art remains a living thing, changing and progressing with the times. Sequences in the film include secondary pupils coming together to make murals combining the mythology of the ancient Maori with their own experiences of modern life - and the restoration of paintings and carvings using todayโs techniques under the supervision of a traditional Maori artist.
