In this practice-led thesis I explore how visual narrative can reframe early Māori / Pākehā encounters from a decolonizing perspective. The project focuses on a case study of Māori / Pākehā encounter that occurred around Foveaux Strait in 1810. The project orients audiences, via storytelling and visual narrative, to the perspectives of the two central protagonists, Tokitoki and Caddell, using a practice-led methodology informed by decolonization theory and focalization.
