WORD Christchurch and Pukapuka Talks presents this very special event to celebrate the life of the enigmatic and brilliant Keri Hulme (1947-2021), author of The Bone People.
Hulme’s nephew Matt Salmons, her publisher Marian Evans (from Spiral Collective) and singer/composer Ariana Tikao will be joined by writers Patricia Grace and Whiti Hereaka. They will share a piece of Hulme’s writing that has influenced them, then read a new work of their own in response, specially commissioned to commemorate her extraordinary body of work. In between readings you’ll glimpse Hulme’s life through some of her favourite songs.
MC: Becky Manawatu
