Wild Dunedin: 7x7 Wild Talks

When art and nature come together, creative sparks fly!

Seven speakers have seven minutes to sell their vision of 'art in nature', but you and the Wild Dunedin MC – radio and TV personality Suzy Cato – will ultimately decide!

We are serious about the time allowed, so it's a race for those competing to get their story across in the most effective way in just seven minutes.

Come and listen to our great line up of speakers, including:

Janet de Wagt, artist and environmentalist James Crofts-Bennett, spider fanatic Claire Beynon, artist and poet David Elliot, author and illustrator Anna van Riel, musician and waste-free campaigner Paul Sorrell, photographer and writer Fiona Eadie, botanist and Head Gardener at Larnach Castle

Te Rūnaka o Ōtākou will officially open the festival and then welcoming speeches will take place prior to the 7x7 event.

The Wild Dunedin festival acknowledges the contribution of trustee, much-missed committee member, and frog-ophile, the late Professor Phil Bishop through the presentation of the festival's 2021 'Wild Hero' award which will be presented to his family at this event.
