Porirua to light up for Matariki
The outer walls of Te Rauparaha Arena will be lit up with a beautifully animated display in July as part of Porirua’s Matariki celebrations.
With the help of her kuia Patricia Grace, local artist Miriama Grace-Smith has created a stunning display which will be visible in the evenings between 12 and 16 July.
The display tells the nostalgic story of simple Matariki rituals through the eyes of our tamariki. It is set in and around Plimmerton’s Hongoeka Marae, celebrating the rising of Matariki in the dawn sky.
With voices recorded by local children, this work of art is a unique community creation made right here in Porirua. The display will play in a loop each night between 6 and 9pm.
Keep an eye on Porirua City’s dedicated webpage for more information about what’s happening as there are also things happening at Pātaka and our libraries: poriruacity.govt.nz/matariki
