Diane Prince (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Whatua and Ngāti Kahu) is a painter, weaver, installation art practitioner, set designer and educator, whose multimedia practice emphasises Māori rights, particularly Māori women’s rights. Diane Prince: Activist Artist brings together a selection of works that foregrounds the close relationship between activism and art in Prince’s practice.
Contextualised by both landmark and current Māori activism, the exhibition suggests that Prince’s practice is as relevant now as it always has been and presents her work as deeply significant to an understanding of Māori and New Zealand (art) history.
