Mānawatia a Matariki 🌟⭐️🌟 a beautiful exhibition open daily until Sunday 7th July 10am - 2pm at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre

🌟 Mānawatia a Matariki! 🌟 From June 28th to July 7th, head to the Raglan Old School Arts Centre for a special exhibition celebrating Matariki ki Whaingaroa 2024. This year's festival, "Matariki ki Tua o ngā Whetū" (Matariki of Endless Possibilities), honors indigenous knowledge and showcases the incredible talents of local Māori artists.

Among the featured artists are three wāhine Māori who have dedicated over 30 years to the art of weaving within our community: Ebony Waitere, Gwyn (Erangi) Brodie, and Rangi Kereopa. These women are members of Ngā Hua o Te Rito (Fruits from Fibre/Heart of the Flax), a Charitable Trust and weaving collective established in 2003 that represents marae from Taharoa to Te Pùaha o Waikato and Ngāti Whātua, Ōrākei.

On the cover from left, Ebony, Rangi, Erangi and Ariana Millward. Read more at this link: https://www.raglanchronicle.co.nz/the-chronicle/2024/06/celebrating-matariki-local-maori-weavers-showcase-their-art/
