MAPURA STUDIOS

Māpura Studios is a neighbourhood art studio who for twenty years has been supporting people living with disability and neurological conditions. Mapura Studios will present the first in a summer series of community events held at Crave Café. There will be a talk by Professor Bronwen Connor alongside the sale of affordable art by Mapura award-winning artists and an acclaimed New Zealand artist.

Crave has been musing for years about how to make Morningside a better place to live. One of the ways they have come up with is to lift the lid on the people of Morningside to share their stories—to help people get to know the diversity and activities of the people of the ‘hood’.

‘Creativity in the Hood’ lifts the lid on

PROFESSOR CONNOR – BEING BRAINY

Bronwen Connor is a Professor in Pharmacology and head of the Neural Reprogramming and Repair Lab at the University of Auckland’s Centre for Brain Research. Bronwen has worked on several strategies for the treatment of multiple neurological disorders.

She has also created an excellent online programme called ‘Being Brainy’ designed to teach primary and intermediate school children about brain function. Bronwen will present ‘Being Brainy’ and the importance of science education in the early school years.

MAPURA ART PURCHASE

Mapura Studios will exhibit a range works by its exceptional artists and introduce Jimmy James Kouratoras, a well known NZ artist. Original works and prints by both Mapura artists and Jimmy James will be for sale. Please see the link below to see Mapura’s winning entry for the 2019 IHC Awards.

So, my in-laws are visiting NZ & staying with us in Auckland for 7 days before travelling on. They've since read online that you shouldn't spend more than 2 days in Auckland because there's nothing to do/see.
My city pride has kicked in & I want to prove them wrong and make sure they have an amazing time in Auckland.
I'd love your suggestions for local activities, things to do in Auckland, places to eat... how have you impressed your visiting guests in the past? Thanks in advance!
