Opening sentence
What if the Earth had a heart in the centre and you can talk to the Earth for advice?
'I Am You, Papatūānuku' is the result of an art project and collaboration with a group of young children in Auckland. Their statements and questions, speaking on behalf of Papatūānuku, are so deep and confronting that it's difficult to believe that that they came from from primary school students. Their vision and their hopes for the future should be shared far and wide.
