Tuatahi Creatives initiated a one-day toi wānanga for the local whānau in the Hokonui area, hosted at the Te Ika Rama Marae. Throughout the event, our focus extended beyond instruction, as we facilitated an environment where participants not only honed their artistic skills but also discovered and embraced their unique creative styles. The wānanga became a collaborative journey, helping individuals define what creativity meant to them personally, fostering an authentic exploration of self-expression.
