KARANGA-A-HAPE ROAD BECOMES A PATHWAY OF STARS, STORYTELLING, SOUND, MOVEMENT, KAI & CONNECTION.

COMMUNITIES ACROSS TĀMAKI MAKAURAU ARE INVITED TO GATHER ON THE ROAD FOR AN EVENING OF REFLECTION, CELEBRATION AND COLLECTIVE REMEMBERING.

KARANGA-A-HAPE ROAD WILL BE CLOSED OFF TO TRAFFIC FROM PITT STREET TO UPPER QUEEN STREET, TRANSFORMING THE ROAD INTO TE ARA A MATARIKI — THE PATH OF MATARIKI — WITH THE MAIN STAGE SITTING AT THE HEART OF THE ROAD.

ACROSS THE STREET, EACH WHETŪ OF MATARIKI WILL RESIDE WITHIN A DIFFERENT SPACE AND EXPERIENCE — THROUGH TAONGA TOI, WĀNANGA, PŪORO, KANIKANI, AND KAI.

FROM COMMUNITY KAI AND KARAKIA AT DAWN, TO INSTALLATIONS, LIVE PERFORMANCES AND LARGE-SCALE ACTIVATIONS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
