Martin Awa Clarke Langdon

Martin Awa Clarke Langdon (Kāi Tahu, Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Whāwhākia, Ngāti Hikairo) is an artist, curator and educator. Langdon has exhibited and curated throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. His interest and mode of operation lay within the duality of his upbringing with Māori and Pākehā world views. Langdon seeks to create artworks/projects that manifest from this culturally entangled framework, artworks aimed at stimulating dialectic revelations for viewers and or participants as a result of research, conversations and collaborations.
