Julie Paama-Pengelly is a Māori tā moko artist, painter, commentator, & curator and is a veteran in the revitalization of taa moko Maaori tattooing. Her studio in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand mixes contemporary and traditional designs and cultivates artists from all walks of life.
With expansive teaching experience, her art practice ranges from the use of symbolic imagery to pure abstraction in graphic design, painting, mixed media, and tattooing. Over time many misconceptions have surfaced about who has the right to wear and practice taa moko. Julie is one of the first women to practice in the male-dominated field. She is a strong voice for Maaori women’s rights and continues to break down barriers to give women a place in taa moko and in the arts.
Mark and Julie speak about the rebirth of Māori culture and tradition in recent decades, tā moko (Māori tattoo and body markings), breaking down barriers for women in her community, cultivating art and being a mentor for younger generations.
