Te Waka o Rangi: Stories Written in the Stars An Exhibition by Students of Northern Health School

Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Northern Health School as our feature exhibition in the Incubator Gallery this Matariki.

Their beautiful display explores Te Waka o Rangi and the many layers of meaning held within Matariki – stars, stories, and remembrance – brought to life through harakeke whetū and a striking manu tukutuku created by ākonga/students.

Alongside this, the exhibition shares the journey of “What’s in a Name?”, where curiosity about the local street names ‘Harata Way’ and ‘Hoariri Way’ led ākonga to the rich local history of the Battle of Pukehinahina and the courage of Harata, a young Ngāi Tamarāwaho wahine. This collaborative exhibition celebrates the creativity, learning, and connection of ākonga, kaiako, whānau, and the wider community.

On display in The Incubator Gallery and Studios from the 4th of July to the 25th of July, 10am – 3pm.
