Kotahitanga – Puanga Exhibition | Puanga Matariki Festival

Celebrate Kotahitanga through a powerful collection of local and Māori artworks. Add your thread this Puanga Matariki and be part of a shared vision for unity, community, and connection.

An inspired collection of local and Māori artworks focused on the theme of Kotahitanga.

We come from different whakapapa, different journeys, and different ways of knowing – each of us a distinct thread.

Yet when Puanga appears on the horizon, it calls us together.

It offers us a chance to weave our many threads into something unbreakable, something none of us could create alone. And when we weave together for a shared vision, for community, for taiao, for mokopuna, we reclaim something powerful that can energise and inspire us for the year ahead.

This Puanga Matariki, we encourage our community to add their thread to our vision for unity – Ma te aho kotahi, e kore e tūkinotia.

This is a free event. Koha (donations) are greatly appreciated.

Accessibility information: wheelchair access, accessible parking, accessible toilets.
