Did you know the stars have always guided the lives of insects and animals?

Maramataka expert Piripi Lambert joins us this Matariki to explore how the rhythms of the night sky shape the natural world. 

Maramataka is a living knowledge system, developed over generations of careful observation of the stars, moon, seasons, and the behaviour of plants and animals. Matua Piripi will share how those same patterns resonate through the creatures seen in the Microsculpture exhibition, which reveals the hidden world of insects in breathtaking detail.
