The Ahipoutu Collective is a Toi Māori collective at 37 Waikari Road in Matapihi, Tauranga. It works through tā moko, whakairo, kōwhaiwhai and toi whakaari, and it describes its aim as reclaiming traditional Māori practices in a modern setting. Its tā moko work includes moko kauae and matatūhua, and it runs wānanga for people who want to reclaim moko as a birthright. Bespoke design is built on mātauranga Māori and consultation with the client, and the collective also does design and graphic work for organisations and community services.
Wellbeing and toi programmes are held on the collective's papakāinga, its ancestral land, and workshops cover tā moko, whakairo and te reo Māori. Schools and organisations can book educational sessions. Clients quoted on the website say the consultation made them feel comfortable and that the process was explained clearly before the work began. Others praise the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere.
