Angie Tangaere
Community-led transformation specialist
Kaitohu (Director) Tangata Whenua, Auckland Co-Design Lab
“Indigenous knowledge systems can support strengths based, localised innovation, where those who are experiencing the most inequity can identify the greatest opportunities for system change.”
Born in Papakura and raised in South Auckland with whakapapa to Ngāti Porou on her father’s side and Pākeha on her mother’s side, Angie Tangaere is shifting the focus of social transformation from intervention to empowerment. With Auckland Co-Design Lab, she develops and co-designs whānau-led initiatives that align to the aspirations and outcomes sought by communities, disrupting ineffective ‘business as usual’ systems.
Angie will join us live as a remote guest and will interact with the festival audience.
