Creative Writing Workshop with Monica Macansantos

Have you struggled to explain to friends what it’s like to be from somewhere else while calling Aotearoa home? Have you ever felt disloyal to the multiple cultures and identities you carry just because you do not belong to any single one of them?

Filipino author Monica Macansantos has confronted these questions in her work and will guide us in an afternoon of sharing, in which we will read and generate work that explores what it means to be an immigrant in Aotearoa.
