It was a great pleasure to be a part of the WORD Christchurch Festival with my photography skills! I got the opportunity to document the The Frontline Ōtautahi 2024 Grand Slam in The Piano. What talented young people, passionate and brave poems, what a wonderful night!
“The second annual Word – The Front Line Ōtautahi Grand Slam was a massive success, the poets left it all out on the stage and the theatre was packed out! Thank you so much to everyone for supporting our rangatahi and their stories. To our all our poets, thank you for your dedication, bravery and truth, not only for yourselves but for everything and everyone you represent. We are immensely proud of you all!”
Exceptional feedbacks from amazing judges: Nathan Joe, Danielle O’Halloran-Thyne, Regan Graham Kupu Stokes and Talia Stanley.
