Talofa from Tāoga - Kupega Creative Arts
Taoga is Kupega o Moana’s creative arts initiative, using art, storytelling, music, craft and other creative expressions to support people in healing, communication and wellbeing. It creates culturally grounded spaces where people can express what may be difficult to put into words, reconnect with identity and culture, and find hope and restoration.
Our offering
Creative arts can support emotional expression, self-awareness, resilience, confidence and connection. They can also help reduce stress, provide safe non-verbal ways to process life experiences, and strengthen wellbeing and belonging. Pasifika arts bring a unique strength by helping people recentre themselves in their roots, values and identity.
Taoga Creative Arts is woven throughout many of our programmes, especially our Life Course, as a meaningful way for people to express what they are going through, support their wellbeing, and reflect on their progress over time. We are excited about this growing initiative and how it uses oral and visual prompts to communicate in ways that are engaging, culturally grounded and accessible.
