Yet for Ayesha, there is one main question that drives her work: what makes Māori art Māori art? She has made waves in the New Zealand art scene by disrupting Eurocentric systems of hierarchy and its associated cultural framework. She captures large complex histories, while also being incredibly personal.” www.aucklandartgallery.com/explore-art-and-
