E kā mana, e kā reo, e kā rikatoi o Ōtepoti, nau mai, whakatau mai.

Blue Oyster Art Project Space, curators and collaborators behind the current wānanga, UKU//UTU, invite creatives, word-weavers and visionaries to a wānanga and overnight stay on Kamau Taurua/Quarantine Island lead by Rauhina Scott-Fyfe and the island's community.

Stories and art have a way of coming alive on this special island at the heart of Otago Harbour—a place where the physical landscape collides with history, community, spirituality, sustainability and social justice.

Together we will hold space to learn, explore, share stories, spark ideas, collaborate, create, and give back: he aroha whakatō, he aroha puta mai.

This event is free to attend, however places are limited—to register your interest, please email admin@blueoyster.org.nz

Mauri ora e te whānau!
