Papaya Stories is an Auckland-based award-winning creative agency founded by Yana Kirakovskaya.
We bring an innovative out of the box approach, experiential thinking, passion for storytelling and theatre.
We specialise in designing site-specific audio tours, immersive experiences, multi-sensory events, brand and placemaking activations to bring diverse people together and share joy!
Fuelled by the creative storytelling, interactive arts, silent disco, psychology, we create bespoke experiences for communities, corporates, conferences and school groups that inspire self-expression, foster human connection and improve wellbeing.
We work with governmental and creative agencies, local businesses, communities that support our vision and keen to facilitate a positive change within the community. We are based in Auckland, New Zealand, but available for national and international collaborations, partnerships, and projects.
If you feel aligned with our mission and keen to work with us on a project big or small or just want to throw an incredible party and celebrate Flamingoes, make sure to get in touch with us using this form.
Papaya fruit is great for health & wellbeing, it is full of colour and positivity. It has a tropical Pacifica influence that we connect and explore in our work. Look at Papaya closely and you will see that it is full of tiny seeds. Each human is like a seed full of potential ready to blossom. But at times in order to unleash our full potential, we need a helping hand, awakening moment, kind guidance, or inspiring real-life story. Papaya Stories plants the seeds of inspiration into every human being to remind each person about its incredible extraordinary nature and potential.
Here are the clients and funders we worked with in the past.
Papaya Stories is founded by Yana Kirakovskaya, Mental Health Advocate, Arts Practitioner, Community Activator, and Speaker. Scroll down to learn more about the Papaya Stories team.
