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.
