Ep 027 Transformative Journey of Indigenous Tattoo Artists and Their Communities with Julious Mora
Join us as we unravel the rich tapestry of Indigenous tattooing practices and their contemporary revival. This episode kicks off with an intimate conversation with Julious Mora, who transitioned from the rugged Australian mines to the spiritual art of ta moko in New Zealand. Guided by signs, eager mentorship from Daniel Ormsby, and the inspiring Moko Ora Wananga gatherings, Julious's journey beautifully illustrates how aligning one's work with personal values and cultural heritage can lead to profound fulfillment.
Next, we venture into the heart of the Moko Ora in Rotorua, where ta moko artists are not just preserving but actively revitalizing the tradition of moko. These artists gather at marae, setting standards and educating about the deeper meanings embedded in each tattoo. We spotlight the enriching process of learning Te Reo Māori, highlighting how understanding traditional proverbs and natural elements can deeply influence moko patterns. This chapter sheds light on breaking intergenerational barriers and emphasizes the significance of integrity, self-reflection, and cultural wisdom.
Lastly, we journey to Canada to explore the resurgence of indigenous tattooing among the Nlaka'pamux and other communities. Listen to stories of resilience, communal learning, and the therapeutic potential of tattoos, emphasizing the importance of compassion, continual learning, and honesty in this sacred practice. This episode is a celebration of cultural revival, resilience, and the transformative power of reconnecting with ancestral roots.
I hope you have enjoyed this episode, and I am excited to travel the world of Indigenous tattooing with you as we visit with friends and colleagues from across the globe doing the work.
