Matariki Flag Collaboration Project
Matariki, also known as the Pleiades, is a star cluster visible in the southern hemisphere. In Māori culture, it marks the start of the Māori New Year which is a time for remembrance, celebration, and setting intentions for the future.
The Matariki Flag Collaboration Project is an opportunity for our TLC community to learn more about Matariki together and create a collective artwork.
Each ākonga (student) and kaimahi (staff) were invited to design an individual flag, representing Matariki in a way that is meaningful to them. These were assembled similar to bunting or prayer flags and linked through the trees at The Learning Connexion to celebrate Matariki.
Our ākonga and kaimahi gathered both on-site and at home collaboratively through digital link to work together to create Matariki flags.
