WĀNANGA INDIGENOUS

2020 AOTEAROA.

KO TAKU TOI TAKU OHOOHO!

WĀNANGA INDIGENOUS

Enveloped in our stories, tā tatau and tā moko hold a deep history throughout the worlds indigenous and first nations peoples. Ancestral hands bring to life ageless ingenuity in ancient and new ways, to strengthen and enrich our identity.

Ngā Uri o Muturangi, Te Tuhi Mareikura Trust, and the Tattoo & Art ExtravagaNZa, warmly invite you to participate in the upcoming Ngā Uri o Muturangi: Wānanga Indigenous 7 - 13 March and Tattoo & Art ExtravagaNZa, 14 - 15 March 2020, Tauranga Moana, New Zealand.

Ngā Uri o Muturangi indigenous week provides a unique forum for indigenous groups to reflect, probe, and collaborate – to enjoy an exclusively indigenous context to consider tattoo heritage, values and beliefs. The week culminates in an indigenous space or ‘atea’ showcasing our tattoo and art practitioners to educate and contest mainstream audience misrepresentation of our customs.

Ko taku toi taku ohooho! My origin is my awakening!

Wānanga Indigenous is a fully-catered marae live-in wānanga education event of sharing between world-wide indigenous artists, and is hosted by the tangata whenua Māori of Tauranga Moana. This provides a unique opportunity for indigenous peoples to explicitly share and workshop in cultural practices, aspirations around tatau traditions, art, dance and music, to share experiences, techniques, tool making, traditions, politics and developments around practice – including ongoing cultural developments, examining our evolving international practice’s in the present and future, and share political and cultural concerns including developments around tatau practices. We invite you to direct us on what you particularly wish to share or facilitate.

 

Spaces in Wānanga Indigenous are highly sought after, and we would like to emphasize that this is for indigenous practitioners to share their experiences in a safe solely indigenous environment.

A wānanga is a particular Māori learning experience that encourages an immersed environment of living together for the purposes of intensive learning and sharing.

Wānanga Indigenous is open to all registrants of the Tattoo & Art Extravaganza's ‘Indigenous art, Tā Tatau - Tā Moko' category

“So incredibly culturally grounded! And (I) felt a cultural connection with all the indigenous people that attended!”

– Wānanga Indigenous, 2019
