September 23 | Taiohi Inside Launch

Inside / Roto

We are filled with aroha and gratitude to share that we have now published two distinct collections of work from participants at two different sites. Each book is a unique tapestry of stories, woven from the shared words nurtured within our hui. These publications stand as a powerful testament to the creativity waiting to be uncovered in every space we enter, and we honour every voice that contributed to these enduring collections.
