Te Papa x Verb | Writers Q&A: Leslie Adkin
Writers present new micro-fictions inspired by the romance, hijinks and child’s play captured in Leslie Adkin’s extraordinary photographs.
Adkin’s images bring the past to life, with moments of work, domestic life and play feeling vivid and immediate, as if time has collapsed between then and now.
In response, three writers have created new micro-fictions inspired by selected photographs. What stories will these images evoke?
Join for a playful and thought-provoking session exploring the connection between historical imagery and contemporary writing.
With: Jordan Hamel, Jack Remiel Cottrell and Anthony Lapwood (followed by Q&A)
Part of a series presented in collaboration with Verb Wellington.
