Goethe-Institut, Royal Society of New Zealand and Victoria University Press warmly invite you to a reading and book launch event for Transit of Venus / Venustransit

6pm on Tuesday 23 February at the Royal Society (auditorium), 11 Turnbull St, Thorndon, Wellington.

The event will include a short screening of the Transit of Venus Poetry Exchange documentary, a video performance from Berlin-based poets Hinemoana Baker and Ulrike Almut Sandig, and live performances from poets Chris Price and Glenn Colquhoun. This will be followed by a conversation with the poets and with the Uawanui Project chair Victor Walker about how the Transit has not only generated poetry, but also inspired a pervasive ‘science psyche’ in the Uawa/Tolaga Bay Community.

Refreshments will be served following the event.
