I have just been listening to a report of a complaint made about a picture in an art gallery of a bare breasted “white” woman wearing a moko. The gallery apologised and withdrew the picture when it was explained to them how offensive and culturally inappropriate this was.
Christians are still waiting for an apology for displaying the “virgin in a condom” at the opening of Te Papa. The outrage it roused was welcomed by the then director who rejoiced that it had focused so much attention on the display. The many who protested were ignored. Have things changed now?
