Maramataka is a group show of artworks by thirteen Māori artists working across sculpture (bronze and wood), painting, weaving, 3D printing, crochet and photography.
The Maramataka is the traditional Māori lunar calendar.
The kupu translates as ‘moon rotating’ and was traditionally used by Māori to guide the timings of planting, harvesting, fishing and ritual.
Today we are increasingly aware that the moon and the cycles of the seasons influence our lives in ways that aren’t immediately apparent. Indigenous knowledge is being re-valued and we are realising that when our connection to nature is strong then our physical mental and spiritual wellbeing can thrive also.
After the challenges of 2025 it is likely that most of us are ready for some enhanced wellbeing.
We hope you can join us for the aroha-filled opening of our 2026 programme!
