Senior Lecturer and Programme Coordinator

Angela Kilford (Te Whanau A Kai, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Kahungunu) is an artist based in Wellington. Kilford’s inspiration comes from Māori concepts and knowledge. Her most recent works have explored the whakapapa of local ecology and the lesser known connections between living and nonliving entities. These ideas are examined and expressed through walking, performance, collaborative making, large scale public installations and writing.

Angela is an independent artist and designer, working also within the College of Creative Arts, Massey University, Wellington.
