Puaka Matariki 6 - 22 July
Puaka matariki – maraka, maraka!
Visit this articleThis issue we rise up and welcome the festival of Puaka Matariki, with a chance to enjoy the craft and creativity of living Ngāi Tahutanga. We put the big questions to the poets in our annual gala National Poetry Day celebrations. And we see things from a whole new perspective, when young film-makers show us what life looks like through their lens. Plus tiny worlds, electric cars and happy hoiho. Eclectic much!
Film screenings, poetry, author talks, stories, crafts, healthy food and a tour of the underworld. Tempted?
