Overview
This Matariki, we’re lighting up one of Ōtautahi’s most iconic buildings — Christ Church Cathedral — with Hurihanga, a powerful large-scale projection artwork led by Ngāi Tahu artist Sam Emerson. Presented by Flare Ōtautahi Street Art Festival in collaboration with Offline Collective and Christ Church Cathedral Reinstatement Project, this free public event will transform the Cathedral into a canvas of light, honouring stories of renewal, remembrance, and whakapapa through breathtaking digital visuals and mātauranga Māori.
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help fund projection technology, artist fees, and installation. Be part of bringing light back to the heart of our city.
Project Updates
$3000 Match Donor Confirmed!
We’re excited to share that we now have a $3,000 match donor for our Boosted campaign!
That means every dollar you donate will be doubled — up to $3,000 — helping us get closer to bringing Hurihanga to life on the front of the Christchurch Cathedral this Matariki.
We have just 12 days to go, and it’s all or nothing — if we don’t reach the full $10,000 target, we don’t receive any of the funds.
Now is the time to give, share, and support Māori-led storytelling in the heart of Ōtautahi.
