Personal as political: women's narrative through song - free event
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.
