For Hohepa ‘Hori’ Thompson, art is everything. A performer and artist not shy of controversy in addressing colonisation, Thompson puts on his comedian hat this month touring The Māori Elite Show. Thompson describes the show as political satire, where he tries to answer questions around Māori elitism. As part of the response, Thompson references five art pieces he created around the co-governance debate. Listen here to RNZ’s interview with Thompson about The Māori Elite Show.
