Waiata for Matariki
Behind the scenes
Singing is a great way to lift one's spirits.
To celebrate Matariki, the Maori New Year, a group of Gallery staff are singing waiata.
We are meeting once a week in June in the Brought to Light arcade to practise the waiata we already know and learn some new ones.
Matariki is a time for reflection, learning and preparation for the year ahead. How appropriate as we reflect on our city's recent events and prepare for the Gallery's re-opening.
