Tēnā koutou katoa

Over 2023 we’ve connected with our creative communities with the purpose of developing a Māori & Pasifika kaupapa for the space located at 113/115 Taranaki St. Our vision for 113/115 Taranaki St is an independent open-source community creative space with wānanga, performances, workshops, exhibitions. We are also looking to establish a new residency. The communities we want to serve and hold space for is Māori & Pasifika dreamers, creators, activists & philosophers.

We would like to invite you all to celebrate 113/115 Taranaki St and together further explore our vision with Shannon Te Ao, artist and Senior lecturer, Massey University, in conversation with a dream team of creatives.
