Taniwha Tales follows Tamaki taniwha across our local landscape, and Waitemata and Manukau harbours.
This workshop commences with a presentation, and pakiwaitara voiced by master storyteller Pita Turei, followed by a multilayered mixed-media workshop. Each process is interwoven into the story to help embed the memory and inspire imagination.
