Introducing: Waikato Creative Symposium

He waka eke noa
We are all in this together

As creatives, we know how important connection and sharing knowledge are for the growth and sustainability of our creative practices.

Cue the upcoming Waikato Creative Symposium – He waka eke noa – We’re all in this together 

On Saturday the 20th of September, Waikato creatives are invited to connect with like-minded people, share kai, and hear from expert panellists in the areas of equity, collaboration and storytelling. This one-day symposium is a space to share experiences, possibilities and ideas.

We are stronger together.

Whether you are a professional artist, a creative volunteering in the community, someone who uses their creativity for wellbeing, (or a mixture of all the above and more!) this day is for you. 

Peep the registration form for a sneak peek of the panel topics:

  • Treatment of creatives Mā te kimi, ka kite, mā te kite, ka mohio, mā te mohio, ka mārama 
  • Creative collaboration Mā whero, mā pango ka oti ai te mahi 
  • Storytelling & building an audience Te ohonga ake o tooku moemoeaa, te puaawaitanga o te whakaaro – Naa Te Puea Herangi
