MICHEL TUFFERY MNZM (Based in Wellington)
His work can be seen at the Raetihi Arts Trust Gallery through until 30 January 2021
Michel is a New Zealand-based artist of Samoan, Rarotongan and Ma‘ohi Tahitian heritage. In his art
practice he plays the role of connector, working “in between” people and places and focusing a fresh
lens on environmental, community, cultural and art historical divides. He exhibits worldwide and has
undertaken research and community residencies throughout the USA, Germany, France, United
Kingdom, Asia, India, Australia, as well as Aotearoa and the Pacific. In 2008 Michel was appointed as
a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to art, but his real reward comes from
enriching communities through his art.
