Our fourth Ockham Lectures Pocket Edition is written by Hana Pera Aoake and Morgan Godfery.

‘Existing in Multitudes’ presents a Maaori world view of how we exist in relation to each other and non-human objects, connecting ideas of making and legacy of materials with te ao maaori.

This event will include a reading of the essay, written collaboratively by Aoake and Godfery.

Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of the publication.

Hospitality will be provided and booking is free here.
