It seems as if Awhiworld (as we have named it) is a thriving interstitial realm inhabited by hybrid creatures and structures connected through imaginal doodlings and daydreams, digital meanderings and ungenreable physical artefacts and activities. Children and young adults seem most able to engage with Awhiworld, and given the importance of this discovery, we aim to work mainly with this group (together with local Kaumatua/Maori Elders) to uncover and map out Awhi Territory. The local primary school has dedicated their curriculum for the remainder of 2008, to uncovering Awhiworld, and all science, social studies, english and health materials will be directed toward the generation of ungenreable artifacts and activities and hybrid story-ing themed around Awhi archeology, anthropology, geography etc. A local alternative education school (for pupils excluded from mainstream education), are also engaged with the uncovery process. | It seems as if Awhiworld (as we have named it) is a thriving interstitial realm inhabited by hybrid creatures and structures connected through imaginal doodlings and daydreams, digital meanderings and ungenreable physical artefacts and activities.

As part of uncovering Awhi, varous portals need to be reactivated in order to more deeply understand their purpose and power. To work on this area we are partnering with Nextspace[[www.nextspace.co.nz]] who are assisting with virtual portal reactivation, and local law enforcement agencies and civic authorities who are providing resources to reactivate portals in the physical realm. | As part of uncovering Awhi, varous portals need to be reactivated in order to more deeply understand their purpose and power.

The secret nature of the world means that information appears only in fragments, and mysterious clues. We are working out systems to interpret these clues and children seem particularly adept at this process. Due to the significance of this find much of our work is done undercover, although once a large amound of evidence has been recovered, we hope to exhibit this to the larger Papakura community. | The secret nature of the world means that information appears only in fragments, and mysterious clues.
