Kai Hau Kai is an art project initiated by Simon Kaan that invites Ngāi Tahu whānui to contribute short video clips of Mahinga Kai practices. Video clips include such things as sharing a meal, spearing patiki, plucking tītī, digging for cockles, singing a waiata, recording a conversation or recalling a memory. You can view the videos on www.kaihaukai.co.nz
On Saturday 30 November in Christchurch Simon Kann ran an event that focused on exploring the concept of sharing of food, and its importance in creating and maintaining social and economic relationships.
Below are some photos from the event. To see some of the beautiful kai and hear the kōrero visit the Ngāi Tahu youtube channel (www.youtube.com/ngaitahutv).
