Silence that Speaks

Published by

Last month, I had the privilege to be part of a panel discussion speaking to suicide and the arts, with Nadine Anne Hura, Hendrix Hennessy-Ropiha and Susan Wardell (moderator).

This was a collaboration between Flash Frontier’s Roundtable Series He mutunga | Endings and the Centre for Medical Humanities, University of Otago | Ōtakou Whakaihu Waka, Aotearoa.

    Kia ora Iona, Thank you so much for sharing the video recording of Silence that Speaks: The Role (and Restriction) of the Arts in Responding to Suicide, in Aotearoa. I found it so moving and helpful. It was good to hear what both you and Nadine Hura said about the differences and similarities around how people grieve (and who can get bereavement leave or not). I loved you said about creating a space for people to kōrero or cry (or jump in the river) and what Hendrix Hennessy-Ropiha said about having a space where people could, if they wanted to, have tea and a biscuits and share their thoughts. Good to hear more about the anthology you edited, Elixir & Star Grief Almanac, Liminal Gatherings. On Saturday 4 April I’ll be letting my Farlane on Writing newsletter subscribers know about your call out for submissions (submissions window: between 20 April-20 May) for the Elixir & Star Press Liminal Gathering 2 . Mihi aroha, Mia
