I missed you, Matariki is a new exhibition by Levi Kereama and Whiro Walker at Window Gallery in the University of Auckland General Library. 

The accompanying text reads:

I missed you Matariki.

I needed you yesterday.

There’s been too much mamae.

Too much tangi and too much mate.

Give me a fresh start, a good feast

Give me a glimpse at the ones I’ve lost

and some hope the next season will be a good one

Haere mai, tōku Matariki

I mokemoke au mōu.

Sofia spoke with one of the artists, Levi Kereama, about the kaupapa of the show and his work.
