Through three years of development, Te Tīmatanga has evolved into the opening event of our Auckland Pride Festival! Join us at The Civic;'s Wintergarden on February 1st, to acti.vā.te our festival together through performing art, dance, ceremony and ritual as we embody Ki Tua. Here, last years Senior Artist, Te Kahureremoa Taumata (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tuwharetoa) and 2023 Resident, Kiriana Sheree (Ngai Tūhoe, Ngāti Porou, Ngāpuhi) hand over the mauri of Te Tīmatanga to this year's Senior Artists; The Pacific Sisters, and our 2024 Resident - Pounamu Rurawhe (Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Tukorehe, Ngāti Raukawa). Supported by Valkyrie, the evening will drift into the night through music and dance. “There will be tables and other seating available at the event, and your general admission ticket grants access to all the seating options available. However, we encourage you to experience this work from the Whāriki (ceremonial mats) and shared space that is being offered.” Tickets available December 1st, 2023. Tīhei Mauri Ora! "[Te Tīmatanga] has pulled together a staggering amount of mahi toi, and lifted up mana takatāpui in powerful ways" - Nigel Borrell More info at aucklandpride.org.nz/shows/te-timatanga-opening/
