We are excited to introduce you to a series of Nokshi Kotha Workshops delivered by artist Sahana Rahman. This project revives the fading Bengali tradition of  nokshi katha,  or embroidered quilts, where groups of Bengali women would gather to stitch their daily narratives onto a shared cloth. In these workshops, participants are invited to contribute their own stories to a collaborative fabric mural, inspired by a personal object they bring with them. Each session includes a presentation on the history of nokshi katha, insights into Sahana’s personal practice, and a guide to embroidery techniques. The goal is to breathe new life into this beautiful tradition, encourage meaningful dialogue, and promote healing and joy through the power of shared creative expression. Come join us for an intimate session on the 4th of October or, 13th October where you can drop-in, embroider onto the mural and leave whenever you want! We're excited to bring this project to new audiences across East Auckland, no embroidery experience is needed! Friday 4 October, Botany Library 1pm - 4pm
Sunday 13 October, Botany Library 10:30am - 3:30pm (drop-in session) Location : Showcase Room, Botany Library, Auckland Sahana Rahman: Instagram / Email This project was funded by Arts Out East a programme supported by Te Tuhi and Howick Local Board.

Best Things to Do

Night view

You won&#39;t find the entrance on the ground level, take an escalator inside the hotel and go down to the basement. Although i find the admission fee is a bit high but a tall sky tower overlooking the city of Auckland is a must see... don&#39;t miss it.

Family-friendly Attractions

Yes, it&#39;s very family friendly and especially great on a wet or rainy day at Auckland. Plan for at least a 2 if not 3hr visit. But do take note that parking is quite limited but you could park further down the coastal road if you&#39;re prepared walk a little.

Auckland War Memorial Museum

Museums

The whole experience was great, and it&#39;s a great place to learn about New Zealand&#39;s history and culture. The museum is quite large and worth a good half-day visit. There are many interactive exhibits, especially suitable for taking children out. There are also Chinese services, which is recommended.

Mount Eden

Mountain climbing

iQOO🐮

Although Mount Eden is not high, you can overlook the whole of Auckland from the top of the mountain, and the view is particularly wide. The remains of the crater are clearly visible, covered with green grass, a peaceful green. It is not difficult to walk all the way up. You can also see sheep grazing on the hillside. Their leisurely appearance makes people can&#39;t help but take a few more photos. The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, but it is also very fresh, which makes people feel particularly bright. It is a good place that does not require tickets or planning, but can leave very deep memories.

Auckland Domain

Auckland Central Park is not like the common landscape parks in the city. It is more like a natural forest. The winding tree-lined paths and the tall trees on both sides make you feel like you are walking into the original green field, with thick fallen leaves and soft soil under your feet. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants, which is very suitable for jogging, walking the dog or just taking a quiet walk. There are also several sculptures and small bridges hidden along the way, which adds a little fun. Although it is not far from the city, you can completely escape the rhythm of the city once you enter the park.
