Rangatahi photos depict rangatahi interacting with the world on their terms. They are designed to illustrate visual aspects of our lives that relate to a journey of understanding ourselves and sometimes our healing. Photos highlight the rich visual culture we have within our mātauranga.

​

Rangatahi and whānau poems are written from the heart to highlight some of the tensions that can come with accepting who we are, navigating our gender and sexuality, the challenges that can crop up, and how we heal, that are all part of growing and becoming. They engage with the roller coaster of emotion that can come with becoming sexual beings. They highlight moemoea, hopes and wishes for the next generation, and can even function as pūrākau.

Rangatahi and whānau videos and video scripts have been developed to explore how gender and sexuality can play out in the lives of young people. They are designed to give you examples of people who are thinking about the gender and sexuality, engaging with the issues that can be raised in these explorations, and raising some of the tensions that can arise when becoming sexual beings.

We have collated songs, memes, videos, and media that we have found on the internet that relate to each of our themes. We enjoy them and hope you do too!
