Date: Wednesday 30th May
Panel and performance 6– 8pm
Refreshments: Beer Baroness and platters
Free event
Venue: National Library foyer

As transmitters of language and life narratives women hold a vital role in maintaining links to the past which act to fortify the present and prepare ground for the future.

Through the prism of the songs they pen four influential women song writers and performers will discuss the creative and political practice of telling and disseminating stories.

Chaired by RNZ’s Kirsten Johnstone the panelists will discuss issues around gender perspective and the power of voicing autobiographical experiences. This panel discussion will shed light on the importance of telling previously untold stories, and how this very act politicises the personal.
Panelists will perform a selection of their songs during the evening. Beer Baroness are the proud supporters of this event.

She is very timid and does not go outside much. We think she may be lost and would greatly appreciate it if you could keep an eye and ear out for her. She is 17 years old, a tortoise shell type colouring, medium length fur. IF YOU SPOT HER PLEASE CALL / TEXT KIRSTY on 021 447 012 and I will come and try and coax her out. If you have a shed or garage that may be shut it would be great if you could check in them. We have had her for her 17+ years and are desperate to reunite her with us and her pug mate Dot who is sitting by the door waiting for her. Please share this with your neighbours. Greatly appreciate you reading this. Kirsty and Dot

People sign up for 6x3 hour classes at $210 for the block for their chosen. They then have the option of continuing if they wish.
