Dear Meta, your algorithm and your AI assistant.

I am stubborn and don't respond well to unsolicited advice. Please refrain from trying.

I don't need new groups, messenger is just how I message and I like my stories in books. None of these things need contribute to your online understanding of who I am or how you'd like to direct me.

I am only here because back in 2008 I found this place a bit better than Bebolos and MySpace.

In summary, p**s off.

Sidenote: the Zuckerberg 2.0 droid with J Timberlake/Tony Hawk upgrades is still creepy.

I don't endorse violence, but I do enjoy education. This has many layered opportunities for learning 🤭

‘Growing up in Ōtara, I was that kid who enjoyed being outdoors. I used to play touch and bullrush (kingasini) in the middle of the road, and the usual childhood games such as hide and seek or tiggy because to me, Ōtara it was a safe neighbourhood growing up. Today I am curious about what the world has to offer' - Grace Tangimataiti

Born on the beautiful island of Mangaia, Cook Islands and raised in Ōtara, Aotearoa since the age of seven years old, Grace Tangimataiti calls Ōtara home. Grace studied at Tangaroa College and found an interest in design where she achieved an excellence award. This award fed her creative passion and motivated her to pursue further studies at Faculty of Creative Arts, Manukau Institute of Technology to study Creative Arts from a foundation certificate into her final year of her Bachelor’s in Creative Arts.

Grace is an emerging illustrator and promising graphic designer interested in comics, painting and screen printing. She recently submitted a compilation of hand-drawn and reworked digital images as a part of her final art project at art school. As an extension of this idea, Grace see’s The 6 x 6 Project at Ōtara Cube as an opportunity to build on her illustrations beyond the classroom into a public space in a solo show titled 'Destination'
