About this listen

 In this episode of Art Inside, Neil Wallace talks with Jess Maclean, a lecturer in Māori and Indigenous Studies at the University of Canterbury, about the transformative impact of the Awe Māreikura programme at Christchurch Women's Prison. Jess discusses how culturally grounded arts education helps women reconnect with their identity, learn new skills, and build self-esteem. She also touches on the importance of whakapapa, pūrākau, and tikanga in this setting. The conversation highlights how the arts can play a key role in healing and personal growth, even within the challenging environment of the prison system.
