Legendary writer Patricia Grace has been a bastion of Māori writing for decades. Anahera Gildea joins Patricia in an intimate conversation about the craft of writing – how has it evolved, how has she perfected voice (whether character or narrator), what is her favourite literary device? Take advantage of the chance to listen, learn and be inspired by one of the foremost pou of writing in Aotearoa.
Children’s stories are the heartbeat of our literary future; crafting stories that reflect their limitless potential is something we all have a stake in. Come and share space with four Māori authors as they kōrero about their passion for enriching the imaginations of our tamariki, and how you can too.
With Linda Tuhiwai-Smith, Pania Tahau-Hodges, Kawata Teepa and Amiria Stirling.
