The essence of ‘Tāmaki Makaurau’ is highlighted in a beautiful new video released today by Auckland’s economic development agency, aimed at encouraging New Zealanders (and hopefully all of us soon!) to experience the region.
Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau is a beautiful two-minute video that captures one person’s view of how lockdown has changed their perspective on life and what they plan to do next – from continuing to support local to exploring something new.
This is the second video in Auckland’s inspiring series, that follows on from the ‘Papatūānuku (our earth mother) is breathing’ video which was released earlier this year.
Kia ora Tāmaki Makaurau
The video beautifully conveys beauty, mindfulness, respect, and inspiration and shines a spotlight on what really matters in the world right now.
Produced by Auckland Tourism, Events and Economic Development (ATEED) during Alert Level 3 COVID-19 restrictions, the video is voiced by Manawanui Maniapoto Mills at her home in Muriwai, on Auckland’s west coast.
Twelve-year-old Maniapoto Mills also voiced ATEED’s first lockdown video, Papatūānuku (our earth mother) is breathing, which attracted global attention.
Papatūānuku (our earth mother) is breathing has generated more than one million views across social media platforms.
