Michel Tuffery

Michel plays the role of working “in between” people and places, and focusing a fresh lens on environmental, community, cultural, and art historical divides.

A passionate educator who openly shares his kauapapa and knowledge to empower youth through residencies and workshops for school-aged children in New Zealand and abroad.

He has exhibited worldwide and undertaken research and community residencies throughout the globe. In 2008, Michel was appointed as a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his services to art—his ongoing rewards come from enriching communities through his art.
