WORD Christchurch and Pukapuka Talks present this very special event to celebrate the life of the enigmatic and brilliant Keri Hulme (1947-2021), author of the bone people, with Patricia Grace, Whiti Hereaka, Marian Evans, Matt Salmons, Anna Hulme and Ariana Tikao, MCed by Becky Manawatu.
Keri Hulme’s nephew Matt Salmons, her niece Anna Hulme, her publisher Marian Evans (from Spiral Collective) and singer/composer Ariana Tikao will be joined by writers Patricia Grace and Whiti Hereaka.
They will share a piece of Hulme’s writing that has influenced them, then read a new work of their own in response, specially commissioned to commemorate her extraordinary body of work.
Marian Evans and Patricia Grace will appear via video. All other performers will appear in person.
In between readings you’ll glimpse Hulme’s life through some of her favourite songs.
