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
Help Us Hit the Goal by Monday – Lights On Wednesday
2 DAYS TO GO — and we’re at 72%
Our Boosted campaign wraps up this Monday, and here’s the deal:
If we hit our goal in time...
It’s lights on this Wednesday!
We’re so close to making Hurihanga a reality — a powerful Māori-led projection artwork by Sam Emerson and Offline Collective that will light up the front of the Christ Church Cathedral for Matariki.
But remember, Boosted is all or nothing — if we don’t reach the full $10,000 by Monday night, we don’t receive any of it.
We’re in the final stretch.
If you’ve been meaning to donate — now’s the moment.
If you’ve already donated — thank you! Please consider sharing with your people.
Let’s light up the city, together.
