Title design for
@katiewolfe.nz @vendettafilms and Tasman Ray documentary 'The Haka Party Incident', based on the acclaimed verbatim play which uncovers this largely forgotten event New Zealands history.
In 1979, group of young Māori and Pasifika activists sought to stop Pākehā students at the University of Auckland performing a parody of haka each capping week. Unfortunately, the consequences for those activists were severe – many were convicted of crimes. The fracas that followed the Haka Party Incident prompted the nation to confront systemic racism and instigate change for a better and more equal partnership between Pākehā and Māori.
Designed with the wonderful Intermission Film!
