Join a listening party on the bus to experience a bold three-track EP by takatāpui rakatahi (Māori, LGBT+ youth), developed through a collaborative wānaka (workshop) series.
Tiny Tipua is a three-track EP written, created and performed by takatāpui rakatahi (Māori, LGBT+ youth) based in Ōtautahi (Christchurch). Given full creative freedom to shape their own stories with mentors, and music production support, each waiata (song) offers a different quality, theme and genre of music.
The result is uncompromising and authentic work demonstrating a range of concerns relevant to their identity, resilience and context. Tiny Tipua stands as a testament to the transformative power of cultural and collaborative artistic approaches within contemporary music and experimental performance practice.
