Collaboration with Wellington High School Making Environmental Art
We met with Arihia, our Enviroschools coordinator at the Worser Bay Boat Club to hear stories of the great Taniwha, Ngake and Whataitai. The way she told the stories, in Māori and then with an English translation gave the stories new depth. They are explanations of how our harbour and lands are as they are and really present metaphors for the significant earth movement that has occurred after a series of powerful earthquakes.

Pictured are the kids in action with some of the work which we completed. We are looking forward to future collaborations.
