Event Details

Join us for a great night out full of eats, beats and stimulating conversation with Shaneel Lal, Jess Molina and the incredible producer, musician and songwriter Samara Alofa. Grab a drink and enjoy the kōrero between two inspirational thought-leaders and culture shifters, followed with a one-hour set by Samara to relax, sit back and get social. While here, don't miss the one and only chance to see Declaration: A Pacific Feminist Agenda after-hours before exhibition closes.
