Experience the transformative power of taonga pūoro in an unforgettable wānanga set against the serene backdrop of Arahura Marae, Hokitika. Haumanu Collective invites you to immerse yourself in this three-day journey of cultural discovery, creativity, and connection.
Recently, the Haumanu Collective had the honor of hosting a truly special event: a wānanga dedicated to māreikura and the art and practice of taonga pūoro. This unique gathering brought together wāhine from across the Pūoro community to explore and express their voices through these instruments of ceremony and ritual.
Haumanu hosted the first national wānanga since the official reforming of the ‘collective’ at Pūrekireki marae in Pīrongia in April of 2023.
He Paoro Taketake is the initial wānanga specifically focused on whakatangitangi taonga pūoro. It aims to provide a foundation for tauira who have started their taonga pūoro journey.
An upcoming exhibition in Whangārei will showcase the best of young Ngāpuhi artists.
Special thanks to our supporters
