Kia Mau, Aotearoa’s celebrated contemporary Tāngata Whenua, Tāngata Moana and Indigenous arts festival, is thrilled to announce their full 2025 programme, running from 30 May – 14 June in Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui. With a lineup that spans theatre, dance, music, poetry, film and more, the festival features work by artists from Hawai’i, Australia, Canada, and across the motu.
This year’s programme champions powerful new voices and returning favourites, with works which focus on Indigenous sovereignty, identity, language, and connection to whenua and ancestry. With more than 26 shows and a full visual arts programme across multiple venues, audiences are invited to experience bold, multi-disciplinary storytelling. The full programme is now live at kiamaufestival.org
