As part of Aroha'17 Festival of Ideas, we will be hosting two nights of house parties!

'It is what it is, and it aint what it aint.'

For one night only; Experience the underground and non-conformist-alternative performance styles of NYC and Auckland.Check it; interaction, activation, great food and chill zones ... come as your authentic self. Harlem, New York Cyber-Soul artist GypjaQ (Blown Away feat. Azealia Banks) is our Master of Ceremonies bringing LOVE and UNITY to Mt. Roskill, Puketapapa.

Supporting the vibes are spoken word artists, revealing truths from varying cultures and backgrounds

*         Jasper Powell with COMMON.

*         Andreea Kindryd (one of the first black women employed on Star Trek)

World Champion beatboxer King Home Boy with some "tru"-school break dancers freestyling on vinyl floors and mellow open mic opportunities.

A night of original works, spoken truths and political questioning for exploring minds. Food vendors and finger food from Kris's Kitch! Outdoor DJ, couture-but-makeshift lounges and mannequin wastelands. So....drop the baggage and come and explore what an NYC House Party SHOULD BE.
