Karetao Wānanga

In March 2023 we held a series of karetao wānanga, to learn more about the practice of these traditional puppets. 

Thanks to those who tuned into the live-stream to join us and share your own knowledge or to learn alongside us.
We're extremely grateful to CNZ Creative Communities Christchurch for supporting these wānanga.
Some important resources on the history and current practice of karetao in Aotearoa:
