Moana Fresh Calendar 2025

For our 5th edition of the Moana Fresh art calendar, we asked fourteen Tangata Whenua and Tagata Moana artists to reflect on Te Tiriti o Waitangi from their own indigenous Moana perspectives and what liberation and justice demands in the resistance for a Te Tiriti o Waitangi centric Aotearoa.

The 2025 Moana Fresh art calendar features 14 artists: 

AjFata - Ngāti Makirangi, Sāmoa

Ahilapalapa Rands – Hawai’i, Tongareva, Sāmoa, Fiji

Dimensions: 300mm x 300mm, wire bound, uncoated, heavy card with plenty of room to organise our busy lives.

Full and new moon symbols support marama-related planning. As this is a solar calendar, we have used the Gregorian dates as a baseline.

We have continued to build on our dates on significance from across Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa. These dates are non-exhaustive, and we will continue to add year after year. Please contact aloha@moanafresh.comif you see a date we should add.

All Moana Fresh 2025 art calendar proceeds get invested back into art projects advocating for Indigenous rights.
