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, featuring arts and culture leaders, practitioners and impact makers from the Tamaki 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 korero 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 show the difference being made in the lives of their communities.

Elyssia Wilson-Heti (Avatele,Tamakautoga) facilitates a korero with dynamic creative practitioners and sector leaders Grayson Goffee (Taranaki, Te Ati Awa), Tanya Muagututi’a (Ulutogia and Vailuutai, Manono and Vaovai), Joe Daymond (Te Ati Awa and Navicula, Tailevu) and Tainui Tukiwaho (Te Arawa/Tuhoe/Tuwharetoa) around the importance of hauora of practitioners, being responsive to the needs of practitioners and how to foster environments that are support systems of support.
All four of these practitioners have centred the hauora of practitioners in the spaces they create and hold. In this kōrero they discuss how centering indigenous models of practice creates a more considered environment for artists to exist in. They discuss the systems change that is possible when self-determination and equity are at the heart of your practice.
