About the event
Holding Space are proud to present Workshop #19 for the Songwriters 4 Climate Action Project with a focus on unpacking some Te Ao Māori concepts like Kaitiakiatanga, Whanaungatanga and Manaakitanga and how we might expand our songwriting process and deepen our connections from these points of view.
With Special Guest / Workshop Host. Jean Yern (Tainui, Waikato, Ngāti Tamaoho) has been a teacher of music, Māori arts and culture for many years. She is currently based in Mangatangi raising her young family and has a background in Jazz; drumming for bands such as Trinity Roots, Olmecha Supreme, Charlie Ash and on TV commercials.
"I believe Te Ao Māori is a bridge, connecting an individuals sense of belonging, identity to the land and its community. Purpose and understanding of tangata whenua in Aotearoa is important and can too be a bridge for connection."
