Nohoaka Guide Launch

FREE with live Poetry

Thursday 19 September | 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Launching Dunedin Public Art Gallery’s Nohoaka Guide, and a new book Hopurangi – Songcatcher

Celebrate the Nohoaka Guide, a new free visitor resource that traces a journey through Huikaau – where currents meet. The guide doubles as a poster of Fiona Pardington’s Still Life with Albatross feathers, Pounamu and Coral Hearts (Ripiro Beach), 2014.

This special event will feature live readings amongst the artworks from Kāi Tahu poets Robert Sullivan, Tāwini White (reading works by Claire Kaahu White), Rauhina Scott-Fyfe and Ati Teepa.

We will also be celebrating Hopurangi—Songcatcher: Poems from the Maramataka, a new collection of poems by our friend and collaborator Robert Sullivan. Copies will be available for purchase thanks to the University Book Shop.
