Master of Design

Ko te Whakapapa o te ngāhere is an explorative discussion and process of
understanding ecological and cultural fragmentation through kōrero, hīkoi and spatial design. Through an interdisciplinary collaboration between Te Herenga Waka Centre for Science in Society and Toi Rauwhārangi College of Creative Arts, this project explores ways of communicating the embedded values and relationships between native rākau (trees), tāngata (people) and whenua (land) within the rohe of Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ōtaki.
