Our inaugural Bill Milbank Memorial Lecture is presented by Professor Deidre Brown, a pioneer in research into Māori art and architecture. This new annual lecture series honours former Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery Director, Bill Milbank QSO (1948-2023), whose wide-ranging interests will be the source of inspiration for this programme. Our first lecture will explore Māori arts and architecture as a context for appreciating our distinctive and newly opened co-designed building, named Te Pātaka o Tā Te Atawhai Archie John Taiaroa.
Deidre Brown (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu) is a Māori art and architectural historian and professor of architecture at Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland. Her books include Māori Architecture (Raupo, 2009), Introducing Maori Art (Reed, 2005) and the multi-authored Art in Oceania (Thames & Hudson, 2012). Deidre is a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand Te Apārangi and a 2023 Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Gold Medallist. Her most recent publication is Toi Te Mana: An Indigenous History of Māori Art, a landmark account of Māori art in its many forms, co-authored with Ngarino Ellis and Jonathan Mane-Wheoki.
This lecture is kindly supported by Murray and Denise Lazelle.
