Mana: Ornament And Adornment From The Pacific


The exhibition Mana ran at the Cuming Museum until July 2006. However, the exhibition text and many of the objects can still be seen online.

The Mana exhibition included two performances by Manaia - one at the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre in December 2005, and another at the Cuming Museum itself in early March. Manaia are a New Zealand Maori performing arts company living and working in London.

Another thread of the project was a collaboration with New Zealand artist Rosanna Raymond. She taught five local young women to create their own jewellery based on some of the remarkable objects in the Cuming collection.
