Te Mahana - the warmth of the home

Over the last few months I have been working with two artists, Bridget Nawalowalo and Daisy Bingham to tell the story of their collaboration to create a new entrance way to Te Mahana, the Wellington women's homeless shelter. They worked with the Creative Communities team (Roo Rowley) at Wellington City Council to fund the project and liaise with the city. A workshop was held with the women in the shelter, exploring their concepts and feelings about 'home' and this was incorporated into the final design. Thanks to our sponsors, Bunnings who supplied building materials and labour.
