Treat urself babe: Wānanga on looking after yourself and your friends
Studio One Toi Tū

Treat urself babe is a wellness wānanga centred around fostering healthy art ecologies. We will
provide some wholesome kai and korero, conversing around mitigating emotional labour and
feeling unwelcome or unsafe in the artworld. Using Rebecca Boswell’s On Friendship as a starting
point, we will collectively discuss methods of self-care, forming meaningful relationships and ways
to survive the ‘art game’.
Fresh and Fruity is an art collective based in Aotearoa/online. Founded in Ōtepoti as a physical
