Matariki is the Maori name for the small cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, in the Taurus constellation. In New Zealand it comes into view low on the north-eastern horizon, appearing in the tail of the Milky Way in the last days of May or in early June. This heralds the Maori New Year and the beginning of the Matariki celebrations.
Te Marama o Matariki – The Light of Matariki is a multi-disciplinary exhibition centred around themes of light and dark, harvest and celebration and the cycles of life and death.
