Join publisher Kaiya Waerea in a group study session exploring the Feminist Library’s collections relating to Māori & Pasifika feminist organising in the late 20th century. Together we will look at key periodicals including Bitches, witches & dykes (1980-82) and Broadsheet (1972-1997) and reflect on questions including:
How have indigenous practises of knowledge sharing and collective decision making gone on to shape authorship, editorial processes, and collective organising within indigenous publishing practices?
What does it mean to consider print a diasporic medium? How did this material get here, and what does that tell us about the movement of people and knowledge between settler colonised land and the land of the coloniser through time?
How has indigenous feminist publishing in the South Pacific diverged from and resisted the norms of imported white feminism?

Kaiya will share a bit about his work so far with some of this material, then we will spend most of the session browsing, reading and discussing what we find together.
This hui will prioritise people of the South Pacific diaspora, as well as those that relate to the material through other indigenous positionalities, to connect and learn from this whakapapa of mana wāhine & takatāpui publishing.

This will be an informal session, and koreoro will be followed by some food.
