George Watson Turanganui-a-Kiwa (Ngāti Porou, Moriori and Ngāti Mutunga) is an artist who works predominantly with sculpture and installation to create immersive exhibitions that explore ideas of cultural belonging, identity and nationhood. Her work looks at the aesthetic mores and decorative conventions of early settler culture in Aotearoa (especially in architecture, literature and clothing) and at how these conventions are imported and enforced, not only through colonial violence, but through the relentless normalisation of western thought and cultural practice. By appropriating and parodying aesthetic conventions of the Empire she hopes to question, and to make strange, the ideological foundations that these instil around property, ownership, and family structures.
