Postgraduate Diploma in Maori Visual Arts

In this postgraduate diploma, you will balance independent creative work in the studio with learning in Māori studies or museum studies. You will spend most of your time making art. If you have more than 10 years of exhibition practice you can apply to do a studio-only postgraduate diploma—talk to us about your situation. The Māori Visual Arts qualification embraces both customary and contemporary practices. That could range from carving to weaving to kowhaiwhai and contemporary practice. The work coming out of Toioho ki Āpiti often asks critical questions about identity and visual culture and exists at the interface of ‘Western’ and ‘indigenous’ art. Flexible study You can study on campus, with studio space provided, or by distance. Full-time and part-time options are available, so you can fit study around work and whānau commitments.
