Abstract

Research question: How might Oriori Tāwaiwaiā inform māmā and pēpi relationships today in the twenty-first century, using an old process in a new way? The title of this project is called Rukuhia tō ora, which means to dive into your well-being; the central part of this project is a four-part methodology called Oriori Tāwaiwaiā. Oriori Tāwaiwaiā is an art process that consists of, Oriori - The revitalisation of oriori as heritage-inspired lullabies for babies. Tā - Painting of emotional release through colour symbolism and association combined with gestural painting techniques. Waiwaiā - The cathartic release of emotion, acknowledging pent-up or repressed emotions stimulated by the performance of oriori. Hongihongi te whaiwhaiā - It is healing the trauma that comes with becoming a single mother as a result of producing oriori tā waiwaiā, as thoughtful expressions of wāhine whai mana (acknowledgment, reconnection, and empowerment). A holistic approach to replenishing māmā and pēpī relationships today, as rongōa Māori, connecting māmā and pēpi using an old process in a new way of Oriori Tāwaiwaiā.
