Mai ngā pātaka ki te hākari, 
he hauora mō te iwi

The PANNZ Arts Market 2025 will be guided by this whakatauākī (proverb), which has been gifted to the PANNZ community by Tānemahuta Gray, Dolina Wehipeihana and Emily Hakaraia following our kaimahi wānanga on the purpose of this year's market.

This whakatauākī talks to all the artists, performing arts organisations and performance venues who have within their own pātaka (food storage houses), a rich collection of performance works, research and development and workshop processes, and performance platforms which we bring to the market. From our storehouses we share our taonga in a hākari or huge feast together to share the ways in which we can see, experience and find future pathways for our works to further feed our communities and future audiences. It talks to the collective process of kotahitanga and sector unity, whilst celebrating the unique and diverse offerings that we all have to offer this great feast. E kai, e kai, e kai!

Each day of the programme will connect with an element of the whakatauākī, and threaded throughout the market will be opportunities to hear from artists and arts leaders, and participate in discussions on arts, culture and creativity in Aotearoa.
