The aim of this project is to raise awareness around keeping memories alive. Without stories being handed down either by korero, or in the written word, we can forget the essence of important people in our lives. Memories are what make us who we are and in this hurried world, it is important to make space for ‘sorting memories’.

My grandma had written a collection of stories for her 6 grandchildren. The gift of these stories has kept her memory alive, burning brightly. Curating and communicating some of these stories are the foundation of this book.
