Auto-ethnographic reflective inquiry was carried out within the collective research project - Te Muka Taura. Nuanced cultural, political and structural dynamics means Te Muka Taura members and Ngāti Tukorehe partners are key participants and contributors to this research. The time and care spent developing audio reflections into textile forms, whilst continually reflecting on self, practice and broader contexts, embodies personal transformation to realise non-colonial ways of being, researching and practicing.
