Māngere - Ōtāhuhu Arts Newsletter.

Welcome to the Māngere - Ōtāhuhu Arts Newsletter.

We are thrilled to announce that in March 2021 Polynesian Entertainers in conjunction with TahiMana will be holding their second SIVA AFI FESTIVAL competition. We hope you all remember the success of the 2020 event! We’re also proud to have the 2021 event included in the Auckland Arts Festival programme. It's time SAVE THE DATES: 13th & 13th March and look forward to SIVA AFI FESTIVAL - Wahine Toa Afi and NZ Schools Siva Afi Competitions.

If you'd like to give it go yourself, join the FREE Siva Afi Workshops popping up across Māngere Ōtāhuhu this summer and learn from experienced Siva Afi dancers. The recent workshops held for children were so popular with parents and caregivers watching, that they requested to learn too. So this time around the workshops are not only for the children. It's time for the adults to take part!

This week we're proud to be celebrating and congratulating Qiane Matata-Sipu and NUKU. Her Boosted campaign to raise funds for the project reached its first goal of $20,000 in the first 4 days! It now has a **NEW GOAL OF $50,000** to reach before 16 December!

NUKU is a non-profit, creative and social impact storytelling movement powered by, made by and made for Indigenous women (incl those who identify as wāhine or non-binary), mā hine, mō hine, kia hine! The NUKU100 series is profiling 100 kickass Indigenous wāhine doing things differently, via podcast, creative portrait photography, behind the scenes videography and at the culmination of 100, a book (set to be released in Matariki 2021). 

This month NUKU reached a milestone of realising NUKU //050, so with the support it deserves - NUKU will achieve the creation of the next 50 multi-media profiles!  Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts was honoured to be able to support Qiane Matata-Sipu to launch NUKU in January 2019 and our support is ongoing!  

  • The NUKU website is ​www.nukuwomen.co.nz

  • Support NUKU, Donate to the Boosted campaign here: ​https://www.boosted.org.nz/projects/nuku100

  • If you aren't in a position to donate, please share the campaign and tell all your friends, colleagues and whānau.

I'm personally thrilled with the Boosted campaigns success for Qiane, having worked to launch Boosted myself years ago with the ambition to provide a new way for the arts community to raise funds and turn its audience into investors in the creative process - whether they have the ability to donate $5 or $5,000, it all counts! 

Thanks so much to all who got in touch and submitted their creative ideas during our recent "call for proposals".  To be honest I was uncertain whether we'd receive much of a response, given the kind of year we've all had.  But I received more proposals than ever before! Reassuring me once again that: "In this time of recovery,  its the flexible and creative thinking of our arts community that can make a positive impact. Artists (and art supporters) you are needed now!*

Lastly, on that note - we hope to see you this Saturday for the Creative SKWAD production - We are One We are Many, presented by Do Good Feel Good. Using the creative arts as a platform to share their lived experiences and showcase the power of young people when all energies are harnessed towards positive change.
Youth leading the change they want to see!

In my next newsletter, I’ll be introducing you to our NEW 20/21 Māngere Ōtāhuhu Arts projects. There is more than ever to look forward to!

Ngā mihi nui,

Renée Tanner​ of​
