This year's 'Boosted x Moana' cohort gathered for a workshop at The Fale Pasifika in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. For October, the Boosted x Moana campaign involves Pasifika artists seeking funding support to get some of their projects off the ground. 2008 Laureate Shane Cotton, who presented Jahnke with his laureate, said this campaign would help propel a diverse range of projects by Māori and Pacific artists. “Māori artists who use Māori imagery are becoming more acceptable today, there’s an embrace of Māori arts that wasn’t there before,” the 72-year-old sculptor said. “Crowd funding is a team sport, so we brought together this year’s Boosted x Moana cohort for a workshop at The Fale Pasifika in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, joined by our Boosted x Moana alumni, and artists from the Pacific Arts community and abroad.
