Artists putting lives back together at M?pura Studios - a podcast by RNZ

An art studio tucked away in a suburban Auckland park is looking to expand.
But M?pura is a unique kind of studio, it specialises in art therapy and connecting people living with the effects of stroke and other disabilities.
Auckland's four Covid-19 lockdowns forced the studio online, but that led to an epiphany that it could reach far more New Zealanders.
"I was delighted to know this place existed where you could come and make art with people in the same situation. And the collaborative interaction here is really conducive to painting and drawing. It's fantastic," one artist, Kerry, told Checkpoint.
