Korero

This publication is a response from students of Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design Te Whare Takiura o Wikiriwhi and Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA) who stayed at Tirorangi Marae for a sustainability paper. Ngati Rangi has ignited in us a desire to make a difference and to uncover hidden issues they face in protecting their sacred lands.

Korero, winner in the DINZ Best Awards Student Nga Aho for 2019, demonstrates the power of collaboration across cultures and disciplines, delivering a compelling publication that will endure as an invaluable resource for iwi partner (Ngai Te Rangi? / Ngati Rangi?)

The project brought together poetry, art, photography, illustration, water-colours, writing and mapping to bring stories from past and present to life.

The story telling and clever use of reveals in the publication added layers of depth to the publication, hinting at the tensions between past and present, between people, land, energy and the health or our environment.

The judges were extremely impressed with the project which demonstrates that if you go somewhere and listen deeply, you can unearth amazing stories and design amazing things.
