ARawhetū

Artist Kereama Taepa leads a team of 10 artists to connect past, present, and future with an augmented reality star trail stretching across the city departing from Aotea Square. Different interpretations of the stars of the Matariki cluster and Puanga create an unforgettable FREE family-friendly experience for all ages. Each will tell a story with a virtual sculpture that will be visible by linking to an app and using a mobile device to move between sites. Download the app from Matariki.app or the QR code in Aotea Square. The app will guide trailblazers via an online map through the Square, up through Myers Park to Karangahape Road on a hīkoi that is as educationally thrilling as it is culturally meaningful. 24-hour accessibility with a portable device and access to Matariki.app. Artists: Kereama Taepa – Te Arawa, Te Ātiawa Maddison Taepa – Te Arawa, Te Ātiawa Jared Wikeepa – Ngāti Awa Zac Haumaha – Te Arawa, Ngāti Rangiwewehi, Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Ngāraranui Noah Smith – Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Hangarau, Ngāi Te Rangi, Ngāi Tukairangi, Ngāti Porou, Te whānau a Ruataupare Johnson Witehira – Ngā Puhi, Tamahaki Ephraim Russell – Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine, Rongowhakaata, Te Aitanga-a-Māhaki, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri, Rangitāne ki Tāmaki Nui a Rua, Irish, French, German, Scottish Reweti Arapere – Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tūwharetoa.
