Six of our international/NZ festival guests tackle the theme ‘Distracted’. Each will speak about guarding creative space amid today’s digital noise. The line-up is astonishingly good: John Boyne (Ireland), Markus Zusak (Australia), Clementine Ford (Australia), Akala (UK), Tina Makereti (NZ) and Chris Tse (NZ), with MC Michèle A’Court.
