Henrietta Bollinger’s debut essay collection is a must-read. Covering everything from first crushes, first periods, parliamentary reform, Disability Pride, and music from the likes of the Topp Twins, Anika Moa, and Woody Guthrie, this is a world-expanding book that offers an insight into living as a disabled person in an ableist society.

Articulations is a celebration of community and a defining moment for a writer on the rise. Bollinger speaks with Melody Thomas about this first, astonishing collection and the stories behind it.

A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for this event for a copy of Henrietta Bollinger’s Articulations. If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
