Angie Tangaere & Penny Hagen

In 2023, Angie and Penny collaborated with Yoko Akama (RMIT) and Joyce Yee (Northumbria University) on a book: Entanglements of designing social innovation in the Asia-Pacific, which was published in 2024.

Their chapter Tikanga-led design : whānau-led innovation for systems transformation:

  • shares an Indigenous-led approach to transformative practice that seeks to restore, prioritise and recognise the capacities and power of whānau to lead their own local responses to complex social issues, disrupting and demonstrating alternatives to dominant service models.

  • introduces the methodology, developed alongside whānau in South Auckland, and 

  • illustrates the ways of being it prioritises through two examples of whānau-led innovation initiatives from Papakura.
