Papa ki Awataha


Char and I are excited to be working with a 200 sq meter piece of land at Papa ki Awataha for the next year. This is the home of the puna that feeds Te Awataha. The land is bare, raw, hard and cracked, waiting to be nurtured back to its full potential. We will inhabit here for the year, nourishing the whenua intentionally along its journey to good health.


We are inviting folks to join us in building community around this land. To help us care for it softly and radically, with creativity and interconnectedness. Across four seasons.


It will be a place to share personal stories and collective reflection with our feet in the soil and our faces in the flowers. A place to make art with natural dye plants through a lens of decolonisation and ecosystem regeneration, addressing the importance of sustainable practices and connection to the whenua while the Northcote towncenter is under redevelopment.


We acknowledge Mana whenua as the kaitaiki of this land, and their tupuna past, present, and emerging.
