Link to research
"I think what kind of threw me right from the beginning was the no communication... It was right back to the good old days..”
We began creating this piece to explore the ideas of communication and kai. As we dove deeper into the research of "Kua huri te tai, kua pari te tai aroha” , more and more connections emmerged. We were inspired by how the Tairāwhiti community came together when in need and the connection, support, generosity and leadership (particularly of wāhine māori) shown through that time.
