New Zealand photographer Tania Niwa is a Grand Master of Photography of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography and also a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography. She is an internationally respected leader professional portrait photography. Her Māori heritage has been the source of an ongoing series of tribal images for the last two decades, and began to incorporate in the early nineties Māori carvings and symbolism based on her own tribe’s Marae within her subject’s imagery. Tania is Australia’s youngest Grand Master of Photography, and in her early career was the youngest ever to win New Zealand Professional Photographer of the Year at the age of 26 years. Her tribes are Te Atiawa and Taranaki from the west coast of the north island of New Zealand. Our range of global and multicultural resources help to support children’s learning about their communities, as well as the world in general. These resources aid in the promotion of understanding and acceptance of different cultures, beliefs, languages, families, appearances and lifestyles. As children gain an understanding of their community, they also gain an understanding of themselves. This develops confidence and a sense of identity. Incorporating multicultural resources into play is a great way to introduce these concepts in fun and unobtrusive ways. Play is an important part of early childhood. Play encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun. Through play, children can develop important cognitive and physical skills. Play encourages creativity, imagination, perseverance and the development of language and social skills. We love creating products that allow Indigenous communities and artists to communicate their culture through their art and in turn allowing children to develop awareness and understanding of the significance of cultural heritage in their world. If you are an Indigenous artist and would like to work with MTA to also develop culturally sensitive and appropriate education resources, please contact info@teaching.com.au.
