TUSIATA AVIA LIVE

Saturday 6.30pm–7.30pm, Anzac Hall

Award-winning author, international performer, Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, and subject of numerous moral panics, Tusiata Avia has lived many lives and built a reputation for creating and performing mesmerising, fearless, challenging work. Tusiata will appear at Featherston Booktown for the first time in conversation with RNZ's Susie Ferguson to discuss her incredible journey and to share from her latest book, Giving Birth to My Father, a rich, unflinching collection about learning to live with a loss that seems too heavy to bear.

In partnership with the Creative New Zealand Pasifika Arts Strategy Team.
