Mother (wife) and child exploring the ever challenging currents of care & creation through a home, heart and hands based practice of fele. We carry and shape our practice in our day to day as well as with others in weekly and monthly making spaces serving memory and meaning making in gift pieces, ceremonial works, celebratory items, exhibition pieces, learning works and fundraising flows. Our practice is possible and healing thanks to a small network of mothers and makers across Aotearoa and the wider moana who continue nurture exchange and learning with us …inspiring us to navigate and activate fading wisdoms, centre village rhythms and honour ancestral whispers of falehanga within louder urban environments of modern expectations & complex challenges.
