We’ve been hard at work in order to deliver our next Going West live events!
Shifted Ground is coming up in early April, and it will be an intimate literary salon exploring the varied terrains of Aotearoa, both geographic and historical; cultural and contested. There’ll be performance, kōrero, music, photography and cinema.
In Ghost Stories, poets Serie Barford and Michael Steven will navigate the liminal spaces between, beneath and beyond the shimmering surface reality of life.
Shifted Ground will also serve as the world premiere of Going West’s inaugural short documentary season. Moving Portraits presents two short films about two astonishing writers, Nathan Joe and Freya Daly Sadgrove.
This next live event takes place on 9 April 2022 at the Titirangi Theatre, Lopdell House. Tickets for this will be extremely limited — don’t miss out!
Poetry at Piha
Following on from the success of our 2021 poetry workshop with Murray Edmond, we’re returning to the iron sands of the West Coast for 2022. On 30 April we will gather in the glade at North Piha for a poetry workshop with Anne Kennedy, before scribing our words in the sand with David Hilliam Beach Tagger. We will again be filming this event. If you would like to register for this free workshop, email us at info@goingwestfest.co.nz
We will of course be operating under appropriate COVID-19 protocols, so guests will be required to:
– Scan in using the COVID tracer app
– Show their vaccine passport
– Respect social distancing
– Be seated for drinks.
Thanks for helping us all stay safe!
