Cathy McIntosh from Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board

JANUARY 31 – February 2, 2020
Whānui 2020: At the Foot of the Maunga Workshops - Te Ipu Kai
Hosted by Auckland Arts Festival
FREE

At the Foot of the Maunga, part of Auckland Arts Festival’s Whānui programme, is a project where the neighbouring suburbs of Tāmaki and Maungakiekie team up to transform public space. This exchange of ideas will see large-scale installations created within the communities and displayed in Onehunga and Panmure.

In association with TGTB Charitable Trust and led by artists Bobby MacDonald and Chantel Matthews, a series of workshops have been created to engage and invite the community to come along and assist in the making of these sculptural installations.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
