Titiro ki waho, titiro ki roto — Looking outside, looking in.
In our tenth issue, Awa Wahine explores the worlds we inhabit and the worlds we carry within. Through poetry, essays, fiction, interviews and visual art, our contributors reflect on identity, creativity, connection and the experiences that shape us.
Woven with aroha, Awa Wahine is a korowai of kōrero and toi that settles in your ngākau and sparks a fire in your puku.
Co-edited by Ataria Sharman and Cassie Hart. Cover artwork by Josie Selkirk.
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… 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.”
— Rebekah Lyell (NZ Booklovers)
