Greg SEMU
Colonised + Curated
Autodidact. Photographer, independent researcher, visual artist and philanthropist working in the field of community arts and social justice. Provocateur and dramatist.
"Semu's work grapples with Western art history and leads us towards a Maori understanding of the events surrounding their ancestors' migratory voyage to New Zealand"
Tony Ellwood, NGV Director
“In the age of the selfie, Greg Semu is "pinging" everyone in New Zealand. And in Australia, for that matter…
…at a time when social media and the images we create of ourselves through these media, dominate conversations and influence the very language we use.”
Michael Bleby
Financial Review
"…Although the Pacific is the focus of his work, Semu has become a globalised artist…”
