Hosted by Auckland Arts Festival
FREE
At the Foot of the Maunga, part of Auckland Arts Festival’s Whānui programme, is a project where the neighbouring suburbs of Tāmaki and Maungakiekie team up to transform public space. This exchange of ideas will see large-scale installations created within the communities and displayed in Onehunga and Panmure.
In association with TGTB Charitable Trust and led by artists Bobby MacDonald and Chantel Matthews, a series of workshops have been created to engage and invite the community to come along and assist in the making of these sculptural installations.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
