Head down to Aotea Square on Friday 28 June and celebrate Matariki with your whānau by acknowledging those you want to send well wishes to with art installation created by Wellington artists Claire O’Loughlin and Marcus McShane. Mihi is a large-scale interactive video installation that invites us to pause, remember, and celebrate each other this Matariki.

Mihi allows you to thank those who are important to you by adding their name to a huge, animated scroll projected onto Auckland Town Hall, rising endlessly up into the sky.

Originally inspired by petitions and those who fight to make a difference, Mihi was first presented in The Performance Arcade 2019 as The Shoreward Surge of the Sea and celebrated inspiring women.

Head to this link to project your loved ones names this Matariki. 

 

 

Ā te Paraire te 28 o Hune, peka atu me tō whānau ki Aotea – Te Papa Tū Wātea ki te whakanui i a Matariki mā te tuku i ō whakaaro pai ki roto i ngā mahinga toi kua waihangahia e ngā ringatoi o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, a Claire O’Loughlin rāua ko Marcus McShane. He puninga toi ataata nui a Mihi. He karanga tēnei kia whakatā, kia hoki mahara atu me te whakanui i a tātou anō i tēnei Matariki.

Mā roto i a Mihi ka taea e koe te whakanui i te tangata mā te whakairi i ō rātou ingoa ki tētahi whakaata takai mutunga kore kua tukuatatia ki runga o te Hōro ā-Tāone o Tāmaki Makaurau.

I hua mai te whakaaro nei i ngā petihana me rātou hoki e whawhai ana kia whanake te ao. He mea whakaatu mai a Mihi i The Performance Arcade 2019, arā ko The Shoreward Surge of the Sea hei whakanui i ngā wāhine kaiwhakaohooho.

Toro atu ki tēnei hononga ki te whakairi i te ingoa o tō tino tangata i tēnei Matariki.
