Explore the way artists have responded to the New Zealand landscape and to events in history connected with the land, including the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the nation’s founding document. Learn how the landscape became stratified with different cultural perspectives and expectations during settlement and see how this connects distinct epochs in New Zealand’s history.
