What's On.

For the last three years, poet and filmmaker Matariki Bennett (Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Whakaue) has worked alongside her father, writer and director Michael Bennett (Ngāti Pikiao, Ngāti Whakaue) curators for the Auckland Writers Festival. This year, she also curated a line-up of young voices from Tamaki Makaurau for a beat-style poetry session at Rocketman during the Streetside: Britomart event on Friday 9 May from 6–8pm. 

One of the great pleasures of the Auckland Writers’ Festival is walking out of an inspiring session with a writer and being able to immediately lay your hands on a copy of their latest book. During Streetside Britomart,  happening from 6pm-8pm on Friday 9 May, you’ll be able to do that at the two pop-up stalls being run by our very literate friends Melanie O’Loughlin and Courtney Smith from Lamplight Books.
