Overview

We are bringing together up to 50 wāhine Māori across two transformative textile art wānanga that honour peace, unity, mātauranga Māori, storytelling, and creativity.

Each wānanga will offer a deeply nurturing space for wāhine to create a small quilt — a love letter to their whānau seven generations down the vine. These quilts will be vessels of story and connection, each one weaving together whakapapa, identity, and aroha.

As the lead artist and facilitator, I will guide participants through the process by sharing the three pou of my art practice — the foundations that sustain my creativity and wellbeing:

  • Te Whare Pora – the sacred space of female creative energy
  • Hine Te Iwaiwa – atua of weaving, birth, and womanhood
  • Waipuna – the spring of life, connection, and flow

Together, we will create safe, mana-enhancing spaces where wāhine can express themselves, honour their ancestors, and pass on their hopes to future generations.
