Feature:

Jai Selkirk is a Natonal Poetry Slam Finalist, WTFL Slam Champion and Auckland Slam Runner Up. Blending elements of Rap with Spoken Word Poetry, Jai showcases a slick wordplay with raw truth telling. When not on the mic you'll find Jai navigating his forklift with the same precision he would his words.

Kate Laughter is a filmmaker, writer, spoken word poet and WTFL alumni born in Amerika, descending from Tokomaru Bay in Tairāwhiti (Ngāti Porou). She is a recent graduate of South Seas: Film & Television School and has a background in the performing arts as well. She writes about reclaiming whakapapa, language and her cultural identity as an urban Māori. She will be attending Te Wānanga Takiura next year, studying Rumaki Reo.
