Harpist Shellie Hanley performed a composition while projecting large images onto the cliffs across the awa from where people were seated. What she described as a “Matariki visual soundscape” included large images of the stars of Matariki, also known as Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, skyscapes and tohorā, or whale. The visuals slowly became more illumined as darkness continued to fall across the area, which included a brief shower of rain that cleared just as Hanley finished playing. Hanley said it was an amazing experience to be able to project her visual work, which she debuted in June at the Palmerston North’s 409 Church St venue, onto Papatūānuku.
