Voices of Aotearoa - Earthquakes, Butterflies & Water

Voices of Aotearoa - Earthquakes, Butterflies & Water

Presented by Kathleen Gallagher

Kathleen will read from and discuss her most recent
work “Earthquakes & Butterflies Otautahi Christchurch”
and the film she is working on with Gaylene Barnes
following the “Seven Rivers Seven Weeks” pilgrimage.

These works are to do with healing of ourselves and
the healing of our environment, and how these healings walk hand in hand as we negotiate a way forward – a way through.

Wednesday 26 April

7pm – 8.30pm

at: Mary Potter Community Centre,
442 Durham Street North

This series aims to encourage and support participants in their own creativity and artistic and spiritual journeys, as we provide an opportunity for discussion about the interface between
the arts and spirituality.

What does it mean to write, to produce works of art and music in this land?

Who are the creative voices shaping our spirituality as we live in Aotearoa New Zealand?
