Kia kotahi te tū: Standing together for the arts
The theme this year is ‘Kia kotahi te tū: Standing together for the arts’.
We invite arts and cultural organisations, artists, arts practitioners, governors and advocates to join us for a national conversation about the issues that matter to you.
This conversation will challenge us as leaders to unite, amplify our voices for the arts, and expand opportunities to bring our shared vision to life in Aotearoa for the arts and ngā toi Māori today and in the future.
Underpinned by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the conference is guided by te ao Māori values and perspectives and uses the waka hourua, or double-hulled waka model. This brings together the intellectual and cultural traditions, knowledge and tikanga of both tangata whenua and tāngata Tiriti.
Nui te Kōrero is about kotahitanga, standing together, and supporting the arts sector to respond to some of our biggest challenges.
Look out for further announcements about the programme and our partners in late April.
We look forward to you joining us!
Kia tau ngā manaakitanga ki runga i a tātou katoa.
