VĀ: STORIES BY WOMEN OF THE MOANA - Free Author Panel Talk
Containing 50 rich stories by 38 writers across the Pacific, never before have so many Moana women writers gathered together to share their stories.
Please note: Masks must be worn by adult attendees. Live streaming and photos will occur for our social media outlets.
"Stories that tell Covid how we REALLY feel, where a Centipede God watches on with wry humour and wrath, where a sexy Samoan goes on a hot Tinder date in Honolulu, where a New Zealand doctor is horrified to be stuck at her cousin’s kava drink up in Fiji, where Moana people travel the stars and navigate planets, stories where Ancestors and Atua live and breathe. Stories that defy colonial boundaries, and draw on the storytelling and oratory that is our inheritance. Immerse yourself in the intrigue, fantasy, humour and magic of beautiful strong stories by 38 writers from across the Moana."
