MATCH presents Coco Solid - Rangatahi Workshop

Rangatahi workshop with Coco Solid - Aotearoa's first woman to direct and write an adult cartoon in NZ for network TV.

What's it all about?

DECOLONISING THE WORLD THROUGH POP CULTURE

Writer, musician and visual artist Coco Solid is Jessica Hansell, a Māori/Sāmoan/German artist from Auckland.

Hansell started out making her own zines/comics and musically came up through underground punk and rap. She went on to form groups Parallel Dance Ensemble (Permanent Vacation, Germany), Badd Energy (Flying Nun, NZ) and 9-member rap collective Fanau Spa. Hansell also runs projects like Kuini Qontrol (an online hub for podcasts, music and club nights) and Equalise My Vocals (amplifying creative women, LGBTQI and decolonising voices in the Pacific).

Working in kaupapa-driven film and television, Hansell created ‘Aroha Bridge’ due mid 2019 and is the first woman to direct and write an adult cartoon in New Zealand for network television. She is part of Piki Films, a small group of Māori/Pasifika screenwriters hand-picked by film-maker Taika Waititi. Hansell also has a background in literature and journalism and recently returned from her Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Hawai’i. She is currently finishing her debut novel for publication in 2020.

Coco Solid will present a rangatahi workshop on animation and zine storytelling.

This workshop is for rangatahi aged 12 - 24 and is free to attend. Rangatahi interested in attending can sign up by emailing match@maorilandfilm.co.nz
