Cultural leaders, Artists and researchers gather together to present The River Talks 2015. This multi-arts and science ECO-PRODUCTION calls for attention to the Omaru River in Glen Innes Auckland. Mad Ave, a cultural community development enterprise has curated this highly impacting creative experience giving a much needed voice to this polluted Urban waterway. Young and old from many backgrounds and persuasions will be welcomed to walk with us to partake of some of the most compelling and inspirational creativity and thinking in Aotearoa. The central creative focus is based on the Maori proverb " Ko Au Te Awa" I am the River. Tongan dancers, Cook Island Drummers, Maori spoken word artisans, Fine arts and sculptural practitioners will combine efforts to imbue a willing audience with historical and community spirit. Academic and Research exponents will also ground these Talks with JUICY facts and figures. Nau Mai, Haere Mai ki tenei kaupapa whakahirahira! Join the movement!
