* Maramataka Matariki 2024-2025 * Lunar Calendar
$30.00
Welcome again to our Maramataka Matariki. We have done things a little differently this year and have followed the Māori lunar calendar closely when arranging the months. Each lunar month is accompanied by beautiful art work produced by our local community and as always all proceeds go towards grass roots reo revitalisation programmes in the Top of the South.

Description
This year our Maramataka Matariki was created by a community of artists and students, under the guidance of Robin Slow and Mat Tait. The works are based on monoprints with the addition of linocut prints and paintings: and again provide some stunning images for you to enjoy as the year unfolds.
We have approached our Maramataka Matariki differently this year. The months are laid out to reflect our evolving knowledge of Te Maramataka Māori, and our respect for the work of Dr. Rangi Matāmua and others who are constantly providing us all with new challenges in how we see and reflect our deeper understandings of Te Ao Māori.
The calendar is set up to show the Māori Lunar Calendar and is built around the contemporarily agreed times of the traditional Māori months. The Roman Solar Calendar is still included in the layout with a simple change in the timing of turning the pages.
