Nau Mai Hoki Mai ki Te Ahurei Mōwaho o Tāmaki Makaurau 2024!

Welcome back to the Auckland Fringe festival 2024! Auckland Fringe celebrates experimental Arts and Culture. Our dedicated whānau advocates inclusivity, innovation, experimentation, and celebration of otherness. We lean into the guidance of Te Ao Māori, honouring Tiriti o Waitangi and challenge the perceived status quo!

We exist to showcase and support the best of Auckland’s independent and unconventional arts scene. As a festival we:

• give emerging artists the chance to create experimental and unique events with abandon
• allow creatives to develop their craft in a low-stakes supported environment.
• support artists to upskill, reach their target audiences, and present work outside conventional locales
• create brokering opportunities between emerging and the professional arts sector

The essence of our kaupapa is dedicated to uplifting:

• multi-disciplinary inclusion
• diverse multicultural representation
• accessibility of needs (including physical ability, financial, geographical, and identity)
• independent creative innovation

Te Ahurei Mōwaho o Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland Fringe is dedicated to championing and elevating awareness for creatives across Tāmaki Makaurau. Because our aim is to activate across ā-rōhe, we wish to pay our respects to the many iwi who hold mana of the vast area known as, Tāmaki Makaurau.

Ka tuku atu ngā mihi nui ki a Papatuānuku te whaea o te whenua!
