We’ve been invited to The Met Museum, New York to weave magic. Pity, we can’t weave $$ 😂

I’ve been invited to be a part of the opening of the new Michael C Rockefeller wing, at
The Met Museum, New York. This wing houses the Oceania exhibition where I will be demonstrating how I weave magic into kete to tell stories.I am part of a small group of Māori and Moana artists' who have been chosen from Aotearoa
My flights, accommodation, and per diems have been gratefully funded by Creative NZ and The Met Museum.
I am asking supporters, friends and beloveds to support our fundraising efforts to stay on in NYC for 4days to teach Raranga Kete / Weaving to our friends and family over in NYC.
The cost of the material alone is astronomical, and I would like to offer 'pay what you can' weaving classes.
The main aim of this fundraiser is to assist with accomodation, transport and per diems.
I totally understand that this is not the time to be asking $ of our people, as we are all struggling out here. Whatever can be given is gratefully accepted.
The pic is of a Tivaivai that my Grandmother designed for artist Tungane Broadbent. It is the Tairiiri design, design of the Fan
Accomodation, transport, and kai.
