Description: Prints, slides and negatives are mainly of taonga puoro (Maori musical instruments), instrument makers, students and performers. The majority of the images relate to Richard Nunns' involvement with a group of people interested in the playing and making of taonga puoro, from 1991. In this year, during a conference held at Te Araroa by the East Coast branch of Nga Puna Waihanga (the Maori Artists and Writers Association), Nunns began a strong relationship with Hirini Melbourne and Brian Flintoff which resulted in the revival of the playing and making of traditional Maori musical instruments. Some of the taonga shown are old (the group includes images from museum collections) and many were made from the 1980s by Brian Flintoff, Clem Mellish, Huata Holmes, John Collins and others. Photographs highlight the variety of materials used for the instruments which includes clay, gourds, bone - from birds including moa, dog, chamois, whale and human, whale tooth, shell - of land and marine creatures, native woods and stone - including pounamu (greenstone) and pakohe (argillite). Photographs also shows a range of events held between 1991 and 2004 (some overseas), and the musicians, actors and others involved.
