Our Aotearoa was the perfect opportunity to work in a team of talented artists to create something that has a real impact. Going into the project, I set out to push myself further than I had before, in order to bring the stories of people here in Aotearoa to life.

Our Aotearoa is an animated documentary series that speaks to immigrants' personal experiences of living in Aotearoa. These episodes explore themes of racism, discrimination, loss, loneliness, and maintaining cultural ties while living in another country. We feel there is little multicultural representation in mainstream media in Aotearoa. This project's purpose is to help open a dialogue for a more diverse representation of Aotearoa – the one we know, Our Aotearoa.
