Next up on the NZSA Wellington programme for 2025 is a very special event. Join us on Monday 14 July with writers Megan Dunn and Nadine Hura in conversation.
Art critic and essayist Megan Dunn is the author of Tinderbox and Things I learned at Art School. Her most recent book is Ockham-longlisted The Mermaid Chronicles: A Midlife Mer-Moir (PRH 2024), an off-the-hook tale about sex and death, mothers and daughters, women’s work and marriage, the stories we tell ourselves and the myths that define us all.

She’s the author of Narrating the Seasons of Grief (2023). She has just launched her long-awaited, debut full-length pukapuka, Slowing the Sun (BWB 2025), essays that explore environmental degradation, social disconnection and Indigenous reclamation.
