The sessions start with a relaxed mihi whakatau and are followed by kaiwhakanoa (cuppa and kai) while learning about the Tatou Studios kaupapa and the activities within the Maori arts. A unique opportunity to ask questions and find guidance on beginning your journey and where opportunities await. We will then travel through a narrative session on a number of the origin stories of the Te Tauihu region provided by respected local kaiako and practitioners with powerful images and interaction with traditional artwork under a tikanga Maori framework.
