SUMMARY:Ōtara 4.0 - Māori and Pasifika Creative Tech Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Māori and Pasifika only represent about 2% of those working in the creative tech sector. We all want this to change.\n\n\nŌtara 4.0 is a series of exciting and innovative Talanoa sessions allocated over five consecutive Wednesday evenings in May and June 2022. Each guest from the creative technologies sector will share their career stories and provide insights into their chosen career path. In addition to having a background in creative technologies\, all speakers will be of Māori or Pacific heritage\, and in most cases\, have a personal link to South Auckland. \nThe after-school sessions will be held at the rear of the Hillary House Leadership Centre\, the iconic family home of NZ mountaineer\, explorer and innovator Sir Edmund Hillary. The relaxed and casual sessions will be hosted by two young local MCs and digital producers\, both of whom are born and bred in Otara; TJ Buford and Jesse Gibson. \nMedia Design School and the Ministry of Education are primary sponsors of Ōtara 4.0\, which was initiated by Pasifika artists/creatives Iokapeta Magele-Suamasi\, Ali Cowley and Andrew Tui\, with South Auckland youth at the heart of this collaboration! \n  \nMay 18 – Animation & Visual Effects \nGuest Speakers: \n\nAli Cowley (Samoa)\, MDS\nEvo Leota-Tupou (Samoa/Tonga)\, Pacific Kids Learning\nKennedy Kioa Toi Faimanifo (Samoa/Māori)\, Manatoa Productions\n\n  \nMay 25 – Gaming \n\nAmber Taylor (Māori)\, Ara Journeys\nRay Cocker (Samoa)\, GameTan\n\n  \nWed 1 June – Media Design (Graphic Design/UX/UI) \n\nHulu Tuinukuafe (Tonga)\, The Digital Arts Network\nDavid Parkinson\, TBWA\nAnaua Tuihalagingie (Tonga)\, The Digital Arts Network\n\n  \nWed 8 June – Digital Art/Esports/Wrestling \n\nMichel Mulipola (Samoa)\, Bloody Samoan\n\n  \nWed 15 June – AI / VR Production \n\nNanai Jr (Samoa)\, Soul Machines\nThomas Greentree\nAli Cowley (Samoa)\, MDS
