The Ngā Toi Advocacy Network

The Ngā Toi Advocacy Network podcast is a series of conversations that were recorded over the last 18 months by the team at Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi.  The podcast feature arts and culture leaders, practitioners and impact makers from the Tāmaki Makaurau creative community. These conversations weren’t produced to be podcasts. They were a series of Zoom hui discussing innovation, systems change, hauora, governance, joy – amongst other things – all while navigating the uncertain waters of an emerging pandemic. Once we looked at the whakaaro as a whole, we thought it was too powerful not to share with a wider audience. And so here we are.

Please excuse the audio quality on some of the episodes, we’ve tried to clean it up as much as we can! The recordings are a little rough around the edges, but this is the nature of the work we do – we create, morph, make things fit into spaces they traditionally don’t.  Join us as we kōrero, and share insights, challenges and tribulations about life for the arts, culture and creative community, highlight the mahi and creative projects our guests are working on, and the difference they are making in the lives of their communities.
