Celebrate Lunar New Year with free experiences and colourful installations across the city centre!

From 2 February - 4 March, glowing lightboxes pop up in Te Komititanga, showcasing vibrant artworks that welcome in the new year.

Recollections and reflections, symbolism and spiritualism, aspiration and inspiration; the artworks draw from traditional and contemporary ideas of what it is to simultaneously start anew and move forward in a manner framed by the Year of the Horse.

This collection of artists includes established educators, young students, practitioners of traditional art forms, innovators of contemporary practice, travellers and entrepreneurs:

They offer artworks informed by their journeys, their culture, their creative practice and their connection with Tāmaki Makaurau. Curated by Ross Liew.

Collectively, they light up the city with colour, inspiration and festivity.

Don’t miss these illuminated artworks at Te Komititanga!

Proudly supported by Auckland Council Events and the city centre targeted rate.
