Awa Wahine – Whitu | Issue 7
Awa Wahine is more than a magazine—it’s a lovingly crafted korowai of kōrero and toi, woven to resonate with your ngākau and spark a fire in your puku.
Whitu | Issue 7 dives into the everyday realities of wāhine Māori, Pasifika, and Indigenous creatives—messy, moving, and deeply personal. It shows how confidence can emerge when life is full, time is scarce, and creativity becomes a quiet form of resistance.
✨ Inside this issue:
– Stories of atua wāhine, matakite, and theatre‑making
– Essays on identity, grief, and reclamation
– Poetry, art, astrology, and imagination
– Reflections on money, motherhood, and making space
Printed in small, thoughtful runs—once they’re gone, they’re gone.
“Awa Wahine is one of the few magazines covering kaupapa that will leave you, your mā/sis/friend feeling better.
The beautiful imagery, thick tactile pages, intelligent wānanga, and wairua‑uplifting insights are best enjoyed with a cuppa in a shaft of afternoon sunlight, wearing your comfiest kākahu and enjoying snacks within reach.”
— Te Arawhata
“While it may have a small budget and be just one collection, Awa Wahine is an absolute gem.
I hope there are more editions, as Awa Wahine is creating a special space that will educate, uplift, and inspire a whole new generation of wāhine Māori writers and creatives.”
