TINY x WAIKIRIKIRI: The Whispering Walls

Our new development project is coming to Selwyn! 🌱

Join us for the first Community Hui on Saturday 12 September, 1–3PM, at Te Ara Ātea, Rolleston.

We’re inviting rangatahi aged 12–25 to be part of The Whispering Walls, a new Tiny Fest project led by artist Jacqueline Clark.

This first hui is a chance to meet, connect and build whanaungatanga, while getting to know Tiny Fest and the project.

No RSVP needed.

Meet us outside Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston.

Come along, bring your ideas, and be part of what this project might become. ✨

⚡️Two weeks ago, magic happened at the Bus Interchange, and we are so grateful you were part of it!

We’d love to hear some of your impressions before the memories start to fade… 👀

Your feedback is invaluable as we plan future festivals, helping us understand what resonated most with our audiences and how we can continue to grow and improve. 💪🏽

We’re also collecting impact statements and feedback to include in funding applications and reports, demonstrating the value Tiny Fest brings to the Ōtautahi arts community.🌈✨

Whether it was a performance that moved you, a connection you made, or a moment that surprised and delighted you, we’d love to hear about it. ❤️

And that’s a wrap. ⚡️

Our biggest ngā mihi to every single artist, (intentional and accidental) audience, volunteer, crew member, supporters, community groups, funders, patrons and friends: We cannot exist without you.

As we wind down to process what these past days were, we leave with a sense that making art together is indeed what makes sense most. We can’t wait to share memories and images with you soon.

Take care, rest well and hope to see you in the next stop!

👉 If you have any memorable moments you want to share, don’t hesitate to tell us your experiences through the link in our bio and sign up to our newsletter to keep updated about where we might be going next!

Mā te wā!
