can these build communities? Join journalist Jamiema

Leaning into the visceral, dynamic potential of multi-

medium expression for community-building and activism,

this short panel and collaborative workshop will equip

taiohi (young people) with skills to write and read for

the progression of movements and causes close to their

hearts. Join Guest Curator Ruby Macomber (Rotuma,

Ngāpuhi), Helena Mayer (German, Pākehā), Frances

Pavletich and Grace Cowley (Ngāpuhi) as they talk about

the movements close to them and how they engage with

and create texts to support their activism. Then break into

an ‘unconference’ style workshop to put the skills discussed

into practice by engaging with and creating pressing and

pertinent responses to texts.
