In other words, Ōtaki
Kia rerekē te hua, Ōtaki

Discover the talented new residents of the 2026 Kia rerekē te hua, Ōtaki / In other words, Ōtaki (IOWŌ) storyteller residency programme!

These inspiring Aotearoa storytellers will call Ōtaki Beach home from 4–13 September 2026!

While working on their own creative projects is their main jam, they'll also be hosted by local community groups during the residency, giving Ōtaki residents a chance to benefit from their knowledge and expertise. 

Keep an eye on our events page as planning advances.
