#canitellyou I always check out the art scene wherever I go. @aucklandartgallery had a series of beautiful Māori portraits by Gottfried Lindauer circa 1871-1878. As we were wandering around the gallery we chanced upon the Pride Poetry Slam which was holding a poetry contest for queer poets. Swipe left to hear one of them. Whakawhetai koe Auckland. / 👩🏽‍🦱🎨 🖼️ . . . #aucklandartgallerytoiotāmaki #maoriportraits #gottfriedlindauer #kiaoraauckland #pridepoetryslam #whakawhetaiko #rafetotengco #rafetravelstonewzealand #aucklandnewzealand🇳🇿 #artinspiresme www.rafe.com (at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki) https://www.instagram.com/p/Coh69QZJNu-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Went to the Maori portraits exhibit at the @deyoungmuseum and it was really weird to see tribal peoples in Victorian era clothes, especially with those sick-ass face tattoos, colonialism sucks . . . #maoriportraits #deyoungmuseum #deyoung #sanfrancisco #portrait #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #moleskine #sfart #bayareaartist #graphitedrawing #tattoos #maori (at de Young Museum)
