Origins - Festival of First Nations
Food - (at events throughout the festival)
Origins follows First Nations cultures in moving food away from the side-table and into the centre of our festival.
At key events (Opening, the Origins Concert, Mata-riki ki tua), traditional food will be prepared by Maori chef Joylene Fenikowski;
and on Hampstead Heath the powhiri will be followed by a traditional hangi meal, cooked in the earth by Bruce Simpson.
First Nations cuisine is healthy, organic, locally sourced and sustainable.
Joylene and Bruce work to create inspired and memorable tables that will serve as rare, powerful and delicious meeting points,
to assure and extend our Festival’s commitment to a sustainable future on farms, in public and at home. Culture meets agriculture.
