A student online exhibition with Hinematioro, ancestress of the Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti people from Aotearoa New Zealand
On March 29, Hinematioro’s pou (carved panel) was formally reurned to the Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti community, who closed the analogue exhibition by a ceremony in the Knights’ Hall of the Museum of Ancient Cultures.
Students of Social and Cultural Anthropology and the Master profile “Museum & Collections” (MuSa) of the Museum of the University of Tübingen (MUT) preserved the special exhibition in an extended online version.
Discover the significance of Hinematioro’s presence in Tübingen – and enjoy the fascinating pictures of the exhibition and gain insights into the traditions of the Māori community Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti.
