Surrealist Sisters: Writers Respond
31 October, 2pm
Te Papa - Te Marae, Level 4

Note that you can walk up on the day for this event but it is helpful if you do register in advance (free to do).

Verb guest curator, poet Rebecca Hawkes, has taken a gathering of writers to experience Te Papa’s latest international exhibition, Surrealist Art: Masterpieces from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Each writer has crafted a written response to the exhibition: what played on their minds? What images and ideas latched on? Find out in this free event in which we’ll hear responses to the stars of surrealism shared for the first time. Featuring: Khadro Mohamed, Rebecca Hawkes, Sarah Scott, Jo Randerson and Cadence Chung. Curated by Rebecca Hawkes.

Presented in partnership with Te Papa.
