Every year, Matariki calls us to pause.

To pause and look up at the cluster of stars that Māori have long used to mark time and season.

To remember those who've passed.

To give thanks.

To look ahead.

It's a celebration of connection: to the land, to the sea, to each other, and to the cosmos we all share.

MATARIKI AT REDVESPA

At Redvespa, we work alongside people who have come from everywhere. Some of us were born here. Some arrived recently. Some have families and histories scattered across the world; people and places that shaped who we are before we ever found ourselves together at Redvespa.

This Matariki, we wanted to honour that, so we created our Matariki Canvas: a digital and physical representation of place and connection.

Matariki Canvas

Our Matariki Canvas enables you to view the dawn sky from anywhere in the world when Matariki is rising in Aotearoa on Friday 10th July 2026.

These are the stars that indigenous navigators studied for centuries. The same stars your tīpuna, your grandparents, your people, looked up at without ever knowing you'd one day be here. The same stars that connect every place on earth to the same turning sky.

Tukua kia tū takitahi ngā whetū o te rangi.

Let each star in the sky shine its own light.
