It's not just about the bling 😉 This year we hosted Sustainability in Practice - a conversation bringing together practitioners from across disciplines to discuss the use of sustainable materials, processes and ethics.

Inspired by our friends at , who run similar events through their Social Club, we heard from a range of practitioners including Sarah Walker-Holt, Justine Fletcher, Nick Feint and Madga Garbarczyk.

Sustainability in Practice was convened by and organised by for NJW 2025. Thank you to Vicki and Katie, to our fantastic speakers, and to everyone that took part.

Neke Moa, Sofia Tekela-Smith and Stevei Houkāmau led a powerful activation at the Nelson Provincial Museum with their work, KOHĀ, on Sunday.

The artists invited those in attendance to engage in the process of kohā by exchanging and deepening an understanding of adornment practice through their own offerings of words, songs or small treasures.

We shared kava, korero, waiata and taonga. We shared ideas, laughter, space and breath.

Thank you to the team at the Museum for hosting this awesome event, and to Neke, Sofia and Stevei for their generosity.
