future ANCESTORS is a three-night showcase of ideas, poetry and dance, from queer Māori and Pasifika creatives in Tāmaki Makaurau.

In this space, Indigenous people are placed at the forefront and we are asked to interrogate our relationships with our ancestors in consideration of our descendants. We are the future ANCESTORS—how will our mokopuna look upon us?

Each creative has been asked the question, “What kind of ancestor do you want to be?” and will interpret this provocation through their performance.

Join us on Thursday night for a panel discussion exploring the provocation, Friday night for readings from local poets, or Saturday for a night of dance performances. Come along and take a glimpse into our Indigenous futures.
