Toi Te Mana: An Indigenous History of Māori Art is the first comprehensive account of creative work by Indigenous New Zealanders ever published.

It is also the first wide-ranging art history written entirely by Māori scholars, traversing whatu (weaving), moko (tattoo), whakairo (carving), whare (architecture), painting, photography and sculpture over 800 years.

No wonder it won the Illustrated Non-Fiction category at the 2025 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.

Authors Deidre Brown (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu) and Ngarino Ellis (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou) join Chloe Cull (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāi te Ruahikihiki) in conversation. With support from the Royal Society Te Apārangi.
