Our 2022 digital commission celebrates incredible Aotearoa writers, spoken word artists and storytellers exploring the theme, ‘Belonging’. The series will be headlined by Ko Wai Koe (from whose waters do you flow?), a spoken word/waiata/music performance by Motueka-based collective, Te Oro Hā. Ko Wai Koe will be performed and filmed at a range of venues throughout the Tasman region, highlighting local Māori literary voices and helping to connect our large festival audience with the multitude of talent on the whenua. This opening piece will be followed by a series of performances from six other commissioned authors who have already written and/or published work the explores the theme of belonging.
