CRITICISM IN THE SMALL POND

What contributes to the art of good criticism? Why do we need critics? What makes a good one? What are the challenges (and benefits) of being a critic in a country as small as Aotearoa New Zealand?  Join us for a panel discussion about criticism in Aotearoa today. Rachael King (Best Reviewer at the 2023 Voyager Media Awards), Erin Harrington of Flat City Field Notes and Vanessa Crofskey of Pantograph Punch join veteran reviewer of film, books and music, Philip Matthews, in conversation.
