Cosmic Canvas has been touring around Auckland and is continuing to do so in the upcoming October school holidays in St Heliers Library! Check the last photo for the info.
Thanks for the support from Ōrākei Local Board 🙏

Here are some photos from our last presentations in Parnell and Grey Lynn libraries for Matariki in June and July, through Toi Waitematā.
As a part of this, we updated all of our cards to include some translation in Te Reo Māori and we added a Matariki card! 💫 We also got some cute stars on display 😍😊

See you in October, in the beautiful St Heliers library 💙
