March to Protect Aotea, Great Barrier Island

26/6/2019

Whānau and the wider Aotea community recently met in unity at Kawa marae to oppose the proposed dumping of toxic dredging materials into the Ocean around Aotea, Great Barrier Island.

On Saturday, 6th July 2019, the community of Aotea, Great Barrier Island are marching in protest of Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) decision to grant Coastal Resources Ltd (CRL) permission to increase the amount of sediment it dumps from 50,000 cubic metres to 250,000 cubic metres annually for 35 years, just 25km off the east coast of Aotea, Great Barrier Island

Sonororan Arts Residency - by Te Atiwei Ririnui

22/2/2019

Te Atiwei Ririnui

On the 5th January 2019 I made the journey from Aotearoa – New Zealand to Ajo, Arizona in the United States of America to commence a two week Arts Residency at Sonoran Desert Inn Conference Center. I am humbled to be the first artist selected from Aotearoa - New Zealand as one of the final six out of 60 applicants to be part of this arts residency. The experience gave me a space to weave in total tranquility and the opportunity to engage with other indigenous artists and my own art in a community oriented environment.
