@noahslee is someone who really doesn't need an introduction in our world, and he is the mastermind behind our new live music format #UNFOLDED.
FvF "Noah, what does “Community” mean to you?"
Noah Slee "This is going back to my roots, as we Indigenous people in the Pacific have an ethics guideline, it’s part of who we are. It’s a concept called “Tauhi Va” – a guiding principle. We see it as the space in between, between you & me. It’s not empty, it’s like an organism. It’s not empty.
“Tauhi Va” mean to protect that space, and that requires effort, being active, nurture and protect that space.
The older I get, the more it means to be. The communities I am part of are breathing things that require love, care, and nurture. It’s bigger than you, and it puts the responsibility on everyone playing a part. You get out of it what you decide to put in. It has this non-hierarchy to it, but you respect the roles.
I now try to teach this to a certain extent, too, to honour those traditions. It has allowed me to be the person that I am today."
