Wānanga Indigenous is a fully-catered marae live-in wānanga education event of sharing between world-wide indigenous artists, and is hosted by the tangata whenua Māori of Tauranga Moana. These wānanga provide a unique opportunity for indigenous peoples to explicitly share and workshop in cultural practices, aspirations around tatau traditions, art, dance and music, to share experiences, techniques, tool making, traditions, politics and developments around practice – including ongoing cultural developments, examining our evolving international practice’s in the present and future, and share political and cultural concerns including developments around tatau practices. Artists and revivalists are invited to direct us on what they particularly wish to share or facilitate.

Spaces in Wānanga Indigenous are highly sought after, and for future events, we would like to emphasize that this is for indigenous practitioners to share their experiences in a safe solely indigenous environment.

​

A wānanga is a particular Māori learning experience that encourages an immersed environment of living together for the purposes of intensive learning and sharing.
