Te Ao Kāi Tahu - Writing the whenua and whakapapa of Te Waipounamu

The land holds our stories. In conversation with Tessa Patrick, Kāi Tahu writers Rauhina Scott-Fyfe and Iona Winter explore the vast and intergenerational perspectives of this land, its history, and its future, and how writers — regardless of their whakapapa — can delve deeper into this whenua within their work. This kōrero is for anyone seeking to understand a unique way of telling stories with curiosity and fervent intent. This event was part of the New Zealand Young Writers Festival (13th - 15th September 2024)
