Connect and Create, 2023
This was a free event open to the local BHB community. Hosting 35 budding artists and led by artist Naomi Azoulay. The object was to create whanaungatanga – as a shared experience and working together providing people with a sense of belonging, kinship and whanau at Blockhouse Bay Community centre.
“Delicious platters from local business Good to Graze and drinks were provided on arrival, the music was playing and the hall was set for an evening of creativity. Guests mixed and mingled as creative juices began to flow. The incredible Naomi Azoulay lead the group through a collaging processing to create a beautiful masterpiece to take home at the end of the evening.” – Miriam Basson, Facilitator
