KITA stands with GREENPEACE & GLASTONBURY

June 19th 2020

There's a lot of mahi (work) to be done in our World.

It became even more apparent during our time in Isolation with this Pandemic sweeping across our Planet.
Whether it be to plant more trees, the air clearing due to a pause on the traffic, or simply to be more compassionate to one another despite our differences.

There's a lot of mahi to be done in our World with ethnic relations, discrimination, understanding of different circumstances and a willingness to learn or to be challenged - and I believe it always begins with the individual. We continue to Hope for a better World even when we aren’t quite sure what a Better might look like.

We are proud to be celebrating the 50th birthday of GREENPEACE and GLASTONBURY with their online Greenpeace at Glastonbury Online Festival - Action All Areas. A festival that has had to be put on hold in its’ physical form due to the pandemic.

We hope to continue to spread our ideas of Hope and Love to as many people around the World.

Here is us opening the Festival after the Launch on DAY 1 of Action All Areas, shot by Shyam Patel, lit by Nic Cave-Lynch and Kat of Many Hands Lighting, from Ed’s room in Newtown, Wellington.

Pitch up a Virtual Tent and support the cause!

From Aotearoa, NZ
With Love

 ‘Try To Find a Way’ official music video launch

May 12th 2020

The ‘Try To Find a Way’ music video was made whilst NZ was in Level 4 of the COVID-19 related lockdown. What that meant for many of us was that we were isolated from friends and family, and unable to travel far from home. Supermarket trips and chats to the checkout operator could bring an energy that we hadn’t felt in some weeks - that feeling of getting along with someone you just met. Far out. We missed each other a lot. This music video is the result of people sending videos of themselves in their lockdown situations for us to use; edited together by the wonderful Mark Russell of Renegade Peach. Seeing these videos gave us the feeling of togetherness in this time of enforced isolation. That we were all contributing to the same hopeful end of seeing each other again - dancing together, eating together. Friends and community were sorely missed but we also wanted to be careful and make sure that this wasn’t all for nothing - nobody wanted to head back into full isolation again. 'Try To Find a Way’ is a song about perseverance, hope and finding a way through. We wanted to show the group effort of staying home, which was evident by the eerily empty streets. We wanted to see our friends and know how they were spending their time. It was a lovely process, receiving videos from all around the world. A huge thank you to all the contributors for making this video what it is - a document of togetherness through mass isolation. Lots of love and wishing you all the best things in these challenging times.
