Artistically, New Zealanders have a knack for taking conventions and twisting them slightly, not so they are unrecognisable but so the concept of creativity can be viewed from a fresh angle.
So it’s no surprise that for the 32nd New Zealand Festival of the Arts, the organisers are shaking things up. Rather than relying on a sole artistic director to make all the programming decisions, they have invited three high-profile creatives to guest curate a week of the festival, which runs February 21st to March 15th in Wellington.
