Held at Kirikiriroa Marae, this international taonga pūoro symposium brought together Indigenous artists and knowledge holders from Aotearoa, Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, Alaska, China, and beyond. Across five days of workshops, kōrero, crafting, and performance, we explored the living breath of our instruments and the deep relationships they carry. This was more than a wānanga — it was a movement.
Save the date Saturday, 29th March! Join us for an immersive digital wānanga on the protection and future of taonga pūoro in the modern world.
Registrations are now closed for this immersive Taonga Pūoro Wānanga at Pukemokimoki Marae, hosted in partnership with Ngāti Kahungunu. It’ll be a journey into the healing vibrations of taonga pūoro in this free three-day gathering filled with learning, storytelling, and connection.
This past weekend, Haumanu Collective had the privilege of supporting a transformative karetao wānanga at Kirikiriroa Marae in Hamilton. Held from November 1-3, this event brought together a passionate community of artists, cultural practitioners, and whānau to celebrate and revitalize the art of Māori puppetry.
On the weekend of 30 August to 1 September 2024, Whakapaumahara Marae in Whananaki became a place of connection, healing, and learning, as the hapū hosted an extraordinary Wānanga Rongoā.
Recently, the Haumanu Collective had the honor of hosting a truly special event: a wānanga dedicated to māreikura and the art and practice of taonga pūoro. This unique gathering brought together wāhine from across the Pūoro community to explore and express their voices through these instruments of ceremony and ritual.
A taonga pūoro wānanga for māreikura: focusing on atua wāhine in taonga pūoro.
Ōtautahi Taonga Pūoro Wānanga 13-14 May Registrations are now closed due to overwhelming demand.
Haumanu hosted the first national wānanga since the official reforming of the ‘collective’ at Pūrekireki marae in Pīrongia in April of 2023.
