Join us for the transformative Days Three and Four of the Kupu Māori Writers Festival!

This festival is a heartfelt celebration of Māori voices, creativity, and storytelling that resonates with the rich cultural tapestry of Aotearoa.

On Day Three, immerse yourself in the profound legacy of Sir Hirini Moko Mead through discussions and readings that honour his invaluable contributions to Māori literature and culture. Engage with thought-provoking themes led by insightful speakers, including Atua Wahine, presented by Hana Tapiata, and the exploration of storytelling through the lens of Ngāhihi Bidois and Arapine Walker. This day is dedicated to reimagining and repurposing our stories, emphasising the power of narratives in shaping identity and community.

As the festival unfolds, Day Four invites you to explore the realms of Māori journalism, Art, and Indigenous healing. Experience the creativity of esteemed authors like Professor Noenoe Silva, Dr Atakohu Middleton, and Professor Deidre Brown, who will illuminate the significance of their work. Delve into healing practices and traditional art forms that connect us to our heritage.

Whether you are an aspiring writer, a lover of literature, or someone who wishes to celebrate the beauty of Māori culture, the Kupu Māori Writers Festival promises an enriching experience that fosters connection, creativity, and community spirit.
