Poems Against Sustainability

Experience a unique collaboration created by three local Featherston artists, working together to tackle sometimes uncomfortable discussions about climate change, their relationship to the land and working with nature – through the creation of playing cards.

Expand your mind, have fun and learn how to nurture the planet through card games, conversation, seed bombs, and enjoying a mobile pop-up library with the Tramping Gently Club and Pae Tū Mōkai o Tauira.

Jordan Hamel, editor of the 'Climate Change Anthology', coming soon from Auckland University Press, will be in conversation and read during this event.

Please note: This event will now take place on Saturday 11 June only and will be held at the wet weather venue: Kauri Room, Featherston Community Centre, Wakefield Street, Featherston.

The previously advertised event on Sunday will now take a different form - you will be able to do a self-directed tour of Dorset Square to view installations there at any time on Sunday.

We acknowledge with thanks the funding support of Creative New Zealand.
