Hikurangi / Peace Quilt Korowai project

Members of Wellington Craftivist Collective have been helping one of our dear friends Ron Tekawa with his Hikurangi / Peace Quilt Korowai project.  Kat Upanetem and Emanarchy have both make panels for the quilt.  Kat's is in support of current struggles for peace in Palestine and West Papua, and Emily has made a section for the sea creatures section the Sea horse who traditionally in Maori culture brings protection.





Ron is making a story of peace, which will form a rainbow shape.


Flighting Sexism Opening

Awesome opening to Flighting Sexism Exhibition. A truly transformative experience, we broke the silences on sexism and the link this has to rape culture. Thanks to all the artists, to Choirboy for his amazing musical performance, Marewa Glover for her powerful and thought provoking poetry. The children who made planes for the craftivist fence, with feminist messages, totally cuted me out. Thanks for all those who came, this was beautiful community experience. Thanks also to Tory Street for providing this wonderful space.
