Come to South Auckland Zine Market! November 22nd at Takaanini Library
Hey it's us!
"Kararua is a collection of works by siblings Abigail and Caleb Rakete. Abigail is an artist with pen, pencil, and pastel. Caleb is a writer and digital artist. Together, we have created a number of Zines, with tales from our world and others. You'll find various other works of art and projects here too, ranging from prints of hand-drawn polaroids to spray paint art. our works are wide-ranging, because that's how we create, jumping from one project to another, following whatever interesting thread presents itself. That's why we're called Kararua, named for the purple sea snail that moves by letting the wind blow it across the ocean."
Come see our work at the South Auckland Zine Market! November 22nd at Takaanini Library.
Want to see some cool art?
Come to our Zine Market! We've got a bunch of awesome zine makers to see, as well as a free book-binding workshop.
We're so excited to be running this in South Auckland, so come along and check it out!
It's at Takaanini Library, November 22nd, from 10am-3pm
Nau mai, haere mai! Join us for an exciting book binding workshop with one of Takaanini Library's friendly kaimahi, Kingston Jack.
Discover the art of crafting your very own handmade book from start to finish. You’ll learn a variety of simple binding techniques using thread, rubber bands, and sticks. We’ll explore how to weave pages together and design a unique cover that reflects your personal style. Whether you’re making a sketchbook, journal, or taonga, this workshop is all about creativity, connection, and the joy of making something beautiful with your own hands.
All materials are provided and the workshop is FREE! Come along and let’s have some crafty fun together!
November 22nd at Takaanini Library, 10am-3pm.
Day 29 ~ Rere
Day 28 - Pou
(post, support, column, symbol of support)
Took me a while to settle on an idea for this one. Glad it did, because this turned out really nice.
Day 27 ~ Mere
I tried getting a sort of green stone texture. It's not quite right but also kinda a little there.
Day 26 - Kahurangi
(blue)
Blue planets with 3d texture. Was an experiment, turned out ok, was fun.
Happy Halloween! We are slowly catching up. Made this in the meantime.
I am slowly learning that I can paint. Just because it's not as intuitive as other art doesn't actually mean I can't just I have not learned it yet. Basically I tried it a couple of times and was a beginner so decided I sucked. But I'm relearning that.
Day 25 ~ Tautoko
Quick makeup sketch
Day 24 - Kaputī
(cuppa, lit. cup of tea)
Has to be my favourite loan word. It always reminds me of my Nana and aunties sitting around the table chatting together.
Calling all Auckland Zinemakers!
We're running a Zine Market in South Auckland on Nov 22nd and want you to come along! Spaces are free, but limited, and applications are open.
For the last couple of years, we've loved being part of Zinefest, but have been wishing there was something similar more south. So, with the assistance of Takaanini Library, we made one!
Bring your zines, your art, your stickers and we'll see you on November 22nd!
South Auckland Zine Market 10am-3pm, November 22nd 2025 Takaanini Library and Community Hub
Zine Market Application form
Don't forget, submission close October 31st!
One more week! If you're keen to come as a stallholder, sign up now!
Day 23 ~ Pūrātoke
I almost forgot to make this one. Hope everyone had a great strike day!
Also I learned recently that people used to be able to solidarity strike. If any union was striking any other one was allowed to just say yup I agree with those guys you should listen to them and strike too.
Day 22 - Tuhituhi

An Open Letter to Judith Collins
To the politician affected by this week's strike,
I regret to inform you, that as a member of the government, you are the Employer of at least 100,000 public servants. Your employees serve the children and families of New Zealand each and every day, looking after them, teaching them, supporting their growth and their wellbeing.
I further regret to inform you that your career as a politician is politically motivated.
What else could possibly explain how you "value all public sector employees" while cutting 9,520 public sector jobs?
As a politically motivated Employer, who better to address the issues of Palestine secondary teachers wished to raise with you?
I emphasise, wished to raise. The meeting never took place.
Palestine. One item on the agenda appears to have stopped all discussion between you and your employees. You lost the opportunity to discuss terms and conditions. You didn't discuss student achievement or the new curriculum. That's not what students or parents expect from their leaders.
So, to you, as a politician. You say this strike is politically motivated, so what are you going to do about it? Do you understand that teachers are concerned about the world their students are growing up in? Will you help them create a stable, peaceful environment where money can be invested in education, not warfare? So far, your answers to this have been nothing, no and who cares.
And to you, as an Employer. You have a responsibility to take care of your employees. This extends further than financial remuneration, further than health & safety. It extends to the workload of every one of your employees. You are failing in this responsibility.
The Government has ignored and exacerbated the understaffing and poor conditions teachers, nurses and doctors face every day. You are risking ordinary New Zealander's lives, health and education every day.
Yet your only concern is 6000 patients out of the 30,000 who will use our hospitals this week.
To the estimated 68 politicians in government, why do you think making teachers give up their contractually-mandated free time to do more work is acceptable? I know some of you are living lives where you can holiday at any time, but teachers cannot. And if you think teachers spend the entirety of school holiday time on holiday, you are unfit to be the employer of teachers.
Health Minister Simeon Brown thought binding arbitration would be the "circuit breaker" needed to stop doctors from striking. You seem to think this was a better idea than presenting doctors with a contract that addressed their clear concerns.
This strike is necessary due to the incompetence of the boss of our teachers, nurses, and doctors. You.
The Government does not value nurses, doctors, other health workers, teachers, principals or teacher aides. If you did, we wouldn't have to suffer the disruption of a strike. Let's be clear: This strike is happening because of you.
You have a responsibility to the people of New Zealand. A responsibility for their care and wellbeing. You are failing.
From re-establishing tax breaks for landlords, to disability funding cuts, your financial priorities are clear. David Seymour's Ministry for Regulation gets 18 million a year, while he takes 107 million away from feeding children. The IRD has 10 billion in tax debt to collect, but you scrapped its powers to gather information from millionaires.
Debt is a reality we all face. Most of us strive to be in debt, because it means the safety and security of owning a home. We take on debt because we care for our children and families. If the choice is debt or homelessness, we choose debt. Why should our country not do the same?
Reality is, there's other options. The wealthiest New Zealanders (50 million plus) pay an effective tax rate of 9.4 percent.
You have made the same offer to unions repeatedly: A small pay rise, barely enough to cover inflation. Whinging about "politicising". Claiming that you're broke. This is your leadership. Strikes are the consequence of your choices.
The unions don't want strikes. We don't want strikes. Our children and families don't want strikes. We want you to do your job, as a politician, employer, and leader. Give an offer that actually addresses the needs of your workers. Show us that you're capable of caring.
New Zealanders deserve better. We wouldn't stand for this kind of behaviour from our bosses, and we won't stand for it from you. We want certainty that our hospitals and schools won't collapse from underfunding, that our doctors, nurses and teachers won't quit from being overworked, and that our leaders actually care about us.
