Bachelor of Maori Visual Arts

Unique to Massey University, the Bachelor of M?ori Visual Arts encompasses contemporary M?ori art, M?ori language, M?ori culture, and tikanga.

Massey is the only university to offer degrees in M?ori visual arts. The BMVA has a strong M?ori kaupapa, with te reo, tikanga, and manaakitanga at its core.

At Toioho ki Apiti we recognise that language, culture, tikanga and art are inseparable. We cater for all levels of proficiency in te reo, and you can learn at the rate that’s right for you.

The Bachelor of M?ori Visual Arts (BMVA) will provide you with:

a culturally based education in design
two and three-dimensional art theory and making
discussion on art issues relating to the development of M?ori art
development of your perceptual and conceptual skills
a cultural foundation for visual communication
interaction with the broader M?ori community through exhibitions and community programmes.

Over time you will develop your own art practice that is deeply grounded in your culture.

As well as M?ori, we have students of P?keh? and international indigenous heritage who want to explore a kaupapa-driven approach to contemporary art.

Toioho ki Apiti has a strong relationship with the Te Manawa gallery in Palmerston North. The gallery regularly hosts exhibitions of work by students, staff and alumni. We also offer opportunities to visit art galleries, museums and cultural events in other centres.
