  • I Identify As An Imposter

    I Identify As An Imposter
    Sep 28 2023
    The arts are gradually becoming more diverse, but many acclaimed writers of the literary canon are still of the old-white-man persuasion. Given the lack of representation in the field, it can be hard for emerging young authors – especially people of colour and gender diverse folk – to dare to dream of successful careers. We join poet and writer Naomii Seah, NZYWF Young Writer in Residence Ruby Macomber, Isla Huia and Vira Paky as they discuss their creative journeys and the road to overcoming imposter syndrome. This event was part of the New Zealand Young Writers Festival (21st - 24th September 2023)

  • Calling Community From The Page: Art and Activism

    Calling Community From The Page: Art and Activism
    Sep 28 2023
    Creative writing is often positioned on the periphery of activism, community-building and mobilisation. However, relational writers cannot create in isolation. NZYWF Young Writer in Residence Ruby Macomber, Carl Naus and others discuss the necessity of creative communities for social change. They explore how creative writing can be a call to action, and the importance of equitable and accessible creative opportunities to amplify the experiences of marginalised voices. This event was part of the New Zealand Young Writers Festival (21st - 24th September 2023)
