To grow in a circle
Arts & Cultural practice supporting families
Púuna
Púuna means To Grow in a Circle in lead artist Lia Pa’apa’a’s Luiseño Language from Southern California.
Púuna is a creative response to raising our families in a modern world where the much needed village is often absent. Púuna is informed by Lia’s experience as a diaspora with global indigenous roots from America and across the Pacific whilst living as an ally alongside First Nations communities in Australia.
Púuna currently has several offerings- all of which are family focussed and curated for nourishment, joy and the strengthening of ancestral connections and intergenerational wealth.
For Mothers 8-week community workshops
For Mothers is a creative and cultural workshop series that supports mothers and their babies during the first 1000 days. Artists work with communities to explore ancestral practices to relearn, reinvigorate and reimagine parenting for the modern mama that is inclusive of her cultural and creative self.
Púuna Sanctuary
Púuna hosts a drop in festival installation that is curated with woven sensory play, tummy time play, weaving and craft actives and much more!
