Six writers perform an address to their “art mother” – the figure who has best nurtured their dreams, their ambitions. The figure who has guided them through hardship and into the light of a new day. Or is an art mother a figure to push against, and prove wrong? Find out when Dr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki iwi, Te Ātiawa, Taranaki Whaanui ki te Upoko o Te Ika), Matariki Bennett (Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Whakaue, Ngāti Hinerangi), Henrietta Bollinger, Elizabeth Knox, Kate Camp, Khadro Mohamed and more weave an hour of transportive, surprising storytelling.
