Māori art encompasses the traditional and contemporary artistic expressions of the Māori people of New Zealand, reflecting their culture, spirituality, and connection to the land. It often features intricate carvings, weaving, and painting that incorporate symbolic motifs and ancestral narratives. Beyond aesthetic value, Māori art serves as a form of storytelling, preserving history and identity while fostering a sense of community and belonging. Overall, it is a vital expression of Māori heritage and worldview.
