This will be amazing. He toi whakairo, he mana tangata!

In case you hadn't heard, we're excited to announce that Te Toi Mahara 2024 is on this October! 💙

Te Toi Mahara is a three-day, immersive summit of Ngāpuhi-nui-tonu creative and cultural expression. We're bringing together Ngāpuhi-nui-tonu leaders, ahikā, change-makers, practitioners and artists together to share kōrero and experiences that explore te toi o te mahara - the origin of why and how we creatively express ourselves. Toi is more than just ‘art’. It is the peak expression of creativity and culture. Te Toi Mahara emerges from te ao wairua, from Hawaiki, and our people can be vessels for that emergence.

The event will be held at Waitangi Treaty Grounds, October 14th to 16th, and will activate kōrero, culture, taiao and creativity. Tickets go on sale August 1st!

We would like to thank our event sponsors for their generosity - Creative New Zealand, Lottery Northland Community, Pub Charity and Oxford Sports Trust.
