Ngakinga, iteration 4 of The Inhabit Project, is a participatory social sculpture which will be grown over a one year time period. The community will be invited to create and grow alongside us at Papa ki Awataha, while we will host creative making spaces, workshops and performance. Ngakinga is a living laboratory for taiao, creativity and natural dyeing practices; an ongoing public art project nurturing interconnectedness and care. We, Charmaine Bailie (Te Uri o Hau – Ngati Whatua ki Kaipara)and Holli McEntegart, are excited to be working with a 200 sq meter piece of land at Papa ki Awataha, the home of the puna that feeds Te Awataha. The land is bare, raw, hard and cracked, waiting to be nurtured back to its full potential. We will inhabit here, nourishing the whenua intentionally along its journey to good health. Workshop details and additional days will be announced on instagram, on the website and on the notice board at Ngakinga as it unfolds.
