Quote by Albert Einstein A human being is a piece of the whole, called by us, Universe, a part limited in time and space. Kawakawa now has a incredible new arts space and clever team to promote arts in Te Taitokerau. This was because they lived very closely connected to nature, hunting and gathering food and water that would sustain them. Because for most of us in today society we do not live off the land, but rather buy our food from a shop, sustaining the environment is no longer a key driver in our vision.
We are linked to all life around us, from the sea and waters to the earth, trees, insects and animals
