New Zealand History Abstract Art Print - Te Tiriti - Treaty of Waitangi
New Zealand History Art Print – Te Tiriti: Treaty of Waitangi
Resonant. Foundational. A visual testament to Aotearoa’s defining moment
Te Tiriti: Treaty of Waitangi is a powerful New Zealand history art print that commemorates one of the nation’s most profound moments — the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi on 6 February 1840 at Waitangi. This minimalist, abstract interpretation uses bold shapes and tonal contrasts to evoke the presence of the treaty document itself: a bridge between two peoples, a pact of partnership, and a living symbol of our shared and contested history.

This isn’t just décor. It’s a statement piece that honours Te Tiriti, a document central to New Zealand’s identity — a covenant that continues to shape conversations around sovereignty, tino rangatiratanga (chieftainship), and national partnership.
