Ashleigh Young (Can You Tolerate This?), Aimie Cronin (Metro, North & South, The Spinoff), Naomi Arnold (Metro, New Zealand Geographic, The Spinoff), John Paul Powley (Man of Errors) and Khalid Warsame (The Lifted Brow) celebrate the essay.

True Stories Told Live and I Ain’t Sorry

Anahera Gildea appears in not one but two events at this years' LitCrawl:

True Stories Told Live 6pm
WELLINGTON CENTRAL LIBRARY, 65 VICTORIA STREET
 
Intimate. Real. Anything goes. Our writers step across the threshold and go unscripted and unsupported by notes, lecterns or audio-visual equipment. This is storytelling at its unabashed best. Come and witness unique stories on the theme of ‘metamorphosis’ as they are shaped in the moment.
 
Featuring Mayor Justin Lester, Paula Morris, Emily Perkins, Khalid Warsame and Anahera Gildea.

I Ain’t Sorry 8.30pm
LAYERS LAUNDRETTE & EMPORIUM, 282 CUBA ST
 
Stolen body. Stolen history. History denied. History reframed. Returning home. White skin brown bones. Brown skin. White assimilation. Smothering. Autonomy. Healing. Self determination. Fulfillment.  A one-night-only reading with a short publication. All writers will speak to experiences of dislocation and marginalisation within their communities. Defined by difference, they look to points of intersecting experience, vocalising new histories, claiming new narratives. Curated by Faith Wilson and Hana Pera Aoake.
 
Writers include George Watson, Piupiu Maya Turei, Quishile Charan, Ines Almeida, Anahera Gildea,Tayi Tibble.
