Aotearoa Rising : Abridged Series
Paperback Edition: 1
In 2019, from Friday the 26th to Sunday the 28th of July, Sarah Lee and Sasha Francis co-hosted a collage stall at Festival for the Future 2019. This Abridged selection is the contents of five notebooks the public was invited to collage into. Each notebook held an initial prompt, now corresponding to the discrete sections: “The Aotearoa I know: longing, belonging”; “letting go: mourning”; “feeling together: falling together”; and “the space between.” In respect for the ordering and arrangement of the original material, blank pages were left intentionally.
The particular works included in Aotearoa Rising (Abridged Series, 2020) and Aotearoa Rising (forthcoming, 2021) were created over the course of this three-day Festival by those present at the hui. We are honoured to share these works, blown away by the power, grit and strength of the honest pause of reflection that emerged. The material collages themselves, as much as the ephemeral space created and shared at the Festival, remain to be beautiful and poignant.
