Soapbox Stories

This free event celebrates creative Aucklanders and themes of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa.

See spoken word artist Grace Taylor, poet and playwright Courtney Sina Meredith, live artist Julia Croft, and writer Dione Joseph perform on Takapuna’s newest artwork 'Soapbox'.

Be inspired by suffrage and the future of feminism expressed through words, movement and sounds on the shores of Lake Pupuke.

'Soapbox' is a new work of public art and a beautifully crafted platform that has been designed and built by a collective of artists in collaboration with architecture and design firm Jasmax. The collective behind the artwork includes Olivia Collinson, Vanessa Coxhead, Stephanie Darlington, Prue Fea, Jayne Kersten, and Madeleine Racz.
