Heretaunga Stories

Heretaunga Stories is a collaborative event over three nights across Toitoi, Hastings City Art Gallery and Hastings District Libraries. During these evenings, 15 local artists will each share with us a 15 minute presentation that captures the essence of their slant on a local story.

On each night, 4-5 artists will make their presentations. These presentations will be very diverse in nature as the selected artists come from a variety of artistic backgrounds and practice, including performing, visual arts and writing. Each artist has been working to find a unique and interesting way to present their offering.

We are excited by this opportunity to engage artists to share their take on our collective kaupapa with our diverse communities. Join us and be treated to three nights of free entertainment and enlightenment.
