This Matariki mā Puanga season, Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne is proud to host a new exhibition by local artist and illustrator Isobel Joy Te Aho-White (Ngāti Kahungunu, Kāi Tahu, Ngāti Pākehā).

How can we commemorate our loved ones while caring for the environment? Every community has its own way of remembering loved ones, and gravesite tributes, including plastic flowers and keepsakes, are common. Yet, when exposed to the elements, these tributes can harm the wider environment where we lay our loved ones to rest.

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to meet a giant moa? This Matariki mā Puanga, as we reflect on those who came before us, a very special visitor is returning from the past… for one day only!

What better way to spend the cold winter days than creating beautiful blooms for your whanau? This Matariki mā Puanga season, Zealandia is celebrating Pōhutukawa, a special star in the cluster who carries those who have passed onto the heavens.

A bat who is afraid of the dark encounters a glow worm who thinks she is a star. Themes of courage, friendship, and conservation are interwoven with a heartwarming story that introduces audiences to the unique and endangered short-tailed bat.
