Kia ora Seaweed Friends!
We’re planning a seaweed festival, and you’re invited!
We’re coming up to our fifth year of Love Rimurimu- a project piloting the regeneration of seaweed forests in Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui.
Our seaweeds are under threat, but out of sight and out of mind for most. We want to put them in the spotlight- providing different ways to engage with our wonderful rimurimu.
We’re calling upon out seaweed-keen community to grow this festival with us, either by running events/activities, partnering with us to make the festival happen, or.... something else!? We want to co-ordinate a broad programme of events and activities during March 2025, to give our seaweeds the attention they deserve!
How to get involved:
Run an event/ activity: Do you have a rimurumu workshop/ exhibition/ talk/ film screening/ gig/ kai offering/ education programme/ creative project etc (we welcome all ideas!) that you'd love to make part of the festival? Let us know by completing this Expression of Interest form
Support the festival: We’re seeking support in the form of funding, partnership, sponsorship, venue support, and the like! Please let us know if you might be able to contribute to making this festival happen by emailing events@mtsw.org.nz
