From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ngahuia Harrison (born 11 February 1988)[1] is a New Zealand Māori (Ngāti Wai, Ngāpuhi) photographer.

Education[edit]

Harrison completed her Master of Fine Arts degree at Elam School of Fine Arts in 2012.[2] She is a doctoral student at Elam and the James Henare Māori Research Centre, University of Auckland.[1] As part of her doctoral research she is exploring the effects of the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 upon her iwi (tribe), Ngāti Wai.[3]

Work[edit]

Harrison works with a 35 mm camera and other lens-based media. Her images express narratives of her hapū (family group) related to wai (bodies of water).[4]

In late 2023 through early 2024, Harrion's work, Coastal Cannibals, was exhibited at City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi.[5][6][7]

Her work is held in the Christchurch Art Gallery[4] and the Auckland Art Gallery.[1]
