Tai o Hī Tai o Hā: A waka for transformational change
Te Kāhui Tai o Hī | Tai o Hā
Tai o Hī Tai o Hā was a series of marae-based wananga across the four directions of Te Taitokerau that brought together a group of 16 young creative leaders from the many hapu of Ngāpuhi-nui-tonu. They were introduced to ringatoi, mahi toi, taiao and whakapapa kōrero to spark their creativity and encourage them to pursue the arts as a meaningful and viable pathway, here in the kainga.
Join members of our kāhui taiohi as they share real talk about some of their experiences within the Tai o Hi Tai o Ha Wananga Toi Series and discuss their learnings, the relationships that were formed and the spark moments that have ignited their inherent creativity. Hara mai tētahi āhua!
