Our second Going West Live event delivers powerful readings, fiery performances and deep-dive conversations on critical contemporary issues. Charlotte Grimshaw, Lana Lopesi, Alison Jones and Ghazaleh Golbakhsh reflect on lives lived in vivid times; Aiwa Pooamorn and Gemishka Chetty present the most progressive poets of colour of Tāmaki Makaurau; Mark Beehre and Jack Remiel Cottrell talk queer agendas with Victor Rodger; and Len Bell and Sarah Shieff traverse the lives of great Aotearoa artists, along with Hamish Coney and Bruce Hopkins.
