We’re reimagining, reinterpreting, and reinvigorating our future.
In this time when the world is changing, when we’re reimagining, reinterpreting, and reinvigorating our future, let’s turn our minds to the artists - kaitoi. Through toi we explore and we express. We challenge perceptions and lean in to discomfort. Through toi we connect. We heal. We find new ways of seeing things. Without our artists our world would be…less. Which Māori artists have work that speaks to you and your whānau? Let’s promote them. Because we need them to help shape our evolution. We don’t want a new normal. We want far, far better than that. We’ll start - go and check out the work of these incredible kaitoi. Share it. Promote it. Buy it. And then, tag the creative natives you know, too. Maori Weaving with Veranoa Hetet. Hiria Anderson.
