Seeking Dunedin's diaspora
We're looking for faraway whānau.
We bask in the pleasure and privilege of our home being the southernmost UNESCO City of Literature so we are looking for Dunedin writers living in our sister Cities to take part in a project – can you help?
Dunedin people tend towards being adventurous and creative, and we know that they leave to explore the world, enlarging their imaginations and perspectives, and when they come home, they bring the world with them.
We are looking for Dunedin writers, in any genre, who are currently residing in any of the Cities of Literature (listed below). In such a time of disconnection and restricted movement, we’re checking in on our people, how they’re doing and, of course, what they’re doing, and at the same time, we can delight in their choice to find homes in other places that treasure literature as much as we do.
If you know of anyone, please ask them to email festivaldirector@dwrf.co.nz for more information - we would very much love to hear from them.
