Led by artists and mothers Lia Pa’apa’a (Samoan/Luiseño) and Johannah Maza (Yidinji/Meriam/Irish), Púuna centres care, creativity and culture for families. Together, they bring immersive, hands-on experiences for little people to come and learn how to make traditional toys from coconut weaving and engage with activism through play.
Drop in across the weekend and explore a world of sensory storytelling, making, and connecting—where every moment is an opportunity to weave culture and care into our children's memories.
