Poipoia te kākano kia puāwai – nurture the seed and it will blossom
We recognise and value Māori culture, identity and voice. We welcome Te Ao Māori into the very centre of the way we do things through the stories we tell, the communities we engage with, the audiences we attract and the artists we support. We honour the unique and rich cultural identity of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
