There is also one event being held at the Athenaeum. On Saturday 14th October at 3.30pm. $20/15.
Radiant Revelry – Celebrating Katherine Mansfield’s Timeless Legacy.
On her birthday, and to commemorate the centenary year of her death, we celebrate the life and work of Katherine Mansfield, New Zealand’s iconic, boundary-pushing literary giant.
Get ready for an afternoon of sensory delight, in the cosy heritage surroundings of the Athenaeum Library. We will be transported back in time by a cello and violin duo performing the classical music that Mansfield loved.
We’ll then move to a fascinating and in-depth conversation between chair Michelle Elvy and Katherine Mansfield biographer Redmer Yska – author of Katerine Mansfield’s Europe: Station to Station.
To be followed by a gorgeous afternoon tea of inspired cupcakes by massive Mansfield fan, Dunedin cake artist Alby Hailes, at which the winners of the inaugural At the Bay I I te Kokoru story awards will be announced by Emma Neale.
