Brannavan Gnanalingam: Political Satire in the Capital

This is a past WORD Christchurch event from 2025. To find out about our latest events and upcoming festival please join our mailing list.

With his novel The Life and Opinions of Kartik Popat, writer and lawyer Brannavan Gnanalingam has created a sharp satire of Wellington’s political scene and who’s actually pulling the strings. He joins Nic Low (Ngāi Tahu) for a wide-reaching conversation about political power, the changing nature of a city, thwarted artists, identity politics and democratic principles.
With support from the Christchurch UK Sister City Committee.
