113 Taranaki St - an experiment in how to affordably share creative space

Presented collectively - Kia kawea tātou e te rēhia Let us be taken by joy and entertainment

We are looking for projects!

Our UDB whare is inspired by the rich cultural traditions of Māori, Pasifika & indigenous communities, as well provide space to share the often unheard relevant stories & histories. 113 Taranaki Street is a place to celebrate artistic storytelling and bring our respective audiences together.

113 offers a sanctuary for tangata whenua and tanagata tiriti creatives to collaborate and collectively respect our cities' pūrākau, the cherished stories of our whenua. The essence of this location in its mission to unite creative hapori and empower it to be self-sustaining.

We acknowledge the whenua we stand on between the waterfront, Te Aro Pa & Pukeahu. There is a long, turbulent history of this area & in particular we acknowledge the painful history of the people of Parihaka. Out of our front door, before the asphalt & the cars, were mud flats with plentiful flounder…. imagine.

Performance, music, readings, listenings, movement, wananga, hui, exhibition, book & album launches… or whatever creative dreams you may have.

113 can be hired at $250 per week, note we also accept koha given the right circumstances, please contact. This is an experiment of how to make commercial space affordable to share with our creative community while acknowledging our indigenous histories.
