IWA, a new water installation off lookout structure Te Mata Topaki, conceived and curated by Tuhirangi Blair (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa) will be illuminated throughout Matariki with a special activation each night at 6pm and 8pm.
The light show (approx. five minutes long) comes alive using colour, lighting, sound and other special elements to create an immersive experience. The lookout structure features the mahi of Graham Tipene (Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Hauā, Ngāti Manu).
IWA is presented by Viaduct Harbour for Matariki ki te Manawa, part of Matariki Festival.
