A two-day digital storytelling workshop in connection to our exhibition Ripples.

Join He Koniahi Story Circle for this digital storytelling workshop.

In this workshop you will be guided through a hands-on, creative and culturally grounded process to script, voice, and edit your own short digital story — or work with our team to record and shape your koorero into a compelling short film.

The workshop will be led by experienced facilitator Sasha McLaren, supported by Fabrice Coquet, from our creative and technical team.

What to expect

All participants will:

• Find and script their story
• Voice record their narration
• Learn basic video editing skills
• Leave with their completed short film (1–5 minutes), transferred onto a USB or personal device to keep. 

This course is inclusive, beginner-friendly, and culturally safe. No prior digital skills are required — only a desire and commitment to tell a story.

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the weekend. Participants are asked to bring their own lunch each day.
