What begins with one person's pattern becomes something we create together.

Threads of Light has grown from a series of creative sessions with our Ngā Tai O Te Awa kaimahi and kaumātua, who helped explore how simple folded paper patterns could become a collaborative Digital Tivaevae.

Their ideas, curiosity and creativity have helped shape the workshop that will now be shared with the wider community at Te Whare o Rehua Sarjeant Gallery.

The videos below capture the journey so far. Our own Ngā Tai O Te Awa Digital Tivaevae is still evolving and will continue to grow over the coming weeks as more patterns are added and the artwork takes its final form.

Ngā mihi to everyone who has contributed to this creative journey. 💜

Ever heard names like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Midjourney or NightCafe… but not really sure what they actually do? 👀

AI tools are becoming part of everyday life — at work, at school, online, and in creative spaces. But figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming.

AI Together: Learning as Whānau is a relaxed, beginner-friendly evening where whānau can explore AI together through creativity, conversation, and hands-on activities.

We’ll experiment with prompt cards, create AI-generated images, and explore some of the tools people are talking about every day.

No experience needed.
Just curiosity.

📍 Tuesday 19 May
🕔 5:00pm – 7:30pm
HIVE HQ
120 Victoria Ave, Level 2

Suitable for whānau with rangatahi aged 9–15.
