SESSION Abstract: A Creative Journey Through Māori Art, Storytelling and New Technology
What happens when ancient traditions meet modern technology? In this workshop, Jacob Scott, a pioneer in contemporary Māori art and education, takes you inside his creative world. As the principal of Te Ara Hihiko, Jacob has spent decades navigating the intersection of whakairo (carving), design, architecture, and digital innovation. His large-scale public artworks, crafted using CNC routers and purpose-built software, can be found at Hawke's Bay Airport, schools, hospitals, and cycleways across New Zealand. This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of New Zealand's most respected Māori artists about creativity, cultural storytelling, and the tools shaping our future.
Date: Monday 3rd August
Time & format: The course will start at 10am, with a coffee/tea break followed by a lively facilitated discussion to answer all your curious questions. The course will finish at 12pm.
