Te Manawaa Māori artist-led collective for transformational change
Te Manawa is a Māori artist-led roopu (collective) that is focused on strengthening Ngā Toi Māori within the creative sector in Tāmaki Makaurau. Its Whakapapa starts within the organization Te Taumata to-a-iwi (Auckland Arts Regional Trust) and its conception was created by a series of korero Te Taumata was having with Ngā toi Māori. These conversations were centered around their needs and aspirations.
