playte
jPlayte are a gastro-architect duo who use local food as a tool for collective healing. Their work is rooted in community—creating site-specific experiences that explore the intersection between art, architecture, and the politics of food.

Founded by Niyanta Sharma, an artist and architectural designer with Indian heritage, and Wesley Hauler-Winterford, a nutritionist and cook with Māori heritage. Together, Playte explores the joy of gastronomy

To celebrate another round of food seasons, Playte’s Birthday gave us an oportunity to share in celebration of our creation-day. The event sorrounded Maori-Indian-fusion snacks with the community and collaborators that this project has been lucky enough to build over the years.
