Auckland at the crossroads: What makes us Auckland? Are we a city of tribes? The first city of the Pacific? An economic powerhouse? An international city? Will a new political structure change who we are?
Smart Talk
LATE 02 features a panel discussion, moderated again by Finlay Macdonald, which asks “What makes us Auckland? Are we a ‘tribal’ city, and will a new political structure change our cultural fabric?”. Guest panelists include Don McGlashan; Chris Brown, co-writer of 8 Tribes: The Hidden Classes of New Zealand; ‘kia ora lady’; social commentator Gordon McLauchlan, Cr Michael Barnett and Dr Chris Harris.
Great Music
Following on from his successful tour of Europe with Crowded House, Don McGlashan will perform in museum’s atrium. A former member of Blam, Blam, Blam and The Mutton Birds, McGlashan’s music has provided a soundtrack to generations of Aucklanders.
Preceding Don will be a performance from Claire Duncan, lead singer of indie pop-folk band Dear Time's Waste.
Manuel Bundy, considered the ‘Godfather’ of New Zealand’s hiphop culture, also performs on the night.
Cash bar and food will be available
