PRESERVE. RECONNECT. REPATRIATE.
Digitaonga explores new methods of repatriation using blockchain technology.
It began when we noticed the similarities between blockchain and whakapapa.
OUR APPROACH
We believe that design and technology can enhance intergenerational capacity to exercise tino rangatiratanga and kaitiakitanga. Our approach responds to and seeks to enhance the mana of taonga while responding to the needs of their kaitiaki and communities of origin. Co-design is inherent to our process.
WHAT WE DO
Digitaonga is a project driven by both research and innovation, striving to provide solutions that benefit both Iwi/Hapū and museums.
