He Owha Matarua Hauntology of Inheritance
A unique, sensorial performance walk of connectivity that explores whakapapa, history and a deepening experience of the beautiful forest at Byers Walk, Piha.
Performance artists Suzanne Cowan and Rodney Bell have lived experience of disability, giving them a unique perspective on navigating and choreographing space.
Join them on a journey of whakapapa, history, colonisation, birds, trees and insects, while asking the question: how can we honour our desire to access the forest and be an active part of the ecology that surrounds us?
The entire walk/roll is approximately 2hrs 30mins and includes a reflective gathering with kai at the end.
Wheelchair-friendly transport available for a small fee.
The terrain of Byers Walkway is suitable for people with mobility impairments but those with a power chair may need some assistance as the path is uneven in parts.
