Patricia Grace and Ngāhuia te Awekōtuku reflect on their long writing careers, accompanied by personal and archival imagery taking us back through some of the pivotal events of the past 40 years in Aotearoa. This special evening celebrates the role that wāhine Māori have played, and continue to play, in the reclamation of Indigenous narratives. Hosted by Matariki Williams.
