Overview
Tātai – A Whakapapa Glyph System is a design research project exploring new ways to visually represent whānau (family), whenua (land), and whakapapa (genealogies).
Many Māori whānau today carry different surnames due to colonial naming systems and whakapapa lines that pass through wāhine (female) lines, which in many case – make it difficult to stand behind a collective identity – especially if it's Pākehā.
This project develops a glyph-based type system inspired by te ao Māori that allows whānau connections to be expressed through symbolic forms rather than a single surname or Tūpuna (ancestors). The project will culminate in a whānau gathering, wearable glyph designs, and a public exhibition that shares this exploration of identity, language, and belonging.
