'Te Kuia Me Te Pūngāwerewere' tells the real reason why the old lady and the spider are constantly arguing.
While in the midst of their daily bickering, Kui and Pūpai the spider are suddenly thrust from their home in Paekākāriki into the wonderful world of spiders. There, they must work together to save the spider world from human proliferation.
The show is performed entirely in te reo Māori, but uses gestures and movement so that even non-speakers can follow along.

This event is part of the NZIA’s festival of Architecture from 20-29 September which provides a range of free events across Wellington and New Zealand open to anyone with an interest in Architecture.
About the Festival of Architecture
The Festival of Architecture is an annual series of engaging, enjoyable and almost entirely free events that celebrate and investigate the role of architecture in improving the quality of life in Aotearoa New Zealand’s towns and cities.
The Festival, co-ordinated by the New Zealand Institute of Architects along with other organisations interested in widening the understanding of architecture in New Zealand, matches people of all ages and levels of architectural interest with activities that will extend their knowledge of architecture and design.
The 2019 Festival of Architecture programme includes a variety of mostly free events: speakers and presentations, building and walking tours, exhibitions, open studios (meet a ‘real’ architect), design competitions, debates and workshops. What makes a building or public space good or great? What influences are shaping our buildings today, and what pressures will shape them into the future?
🏉 Through school-based programmes like #KiwiCan, #Stars, and #ProjectK, we empower our youth to grow into the best versions of themselves.
It's Bee Awareness Month! Get bees moving in with bee-friendly plants - like honeywort, lavender and thyme. Bees are an essential part of our ecosystem. For more bee tips head to www.wellington.govt.nz...

Hello neighbors, my name is Maximus. I recently got a new headset from my parents that I wouldn’t like as I have just got another new one.
The one I would like to sell is brand new and unopened, has a 2 year warranty and retails at 160 so buying it at 130 or near offer would be a bargain.
