WORD Christchurch, in association with Christchurch Arts Festival, is pleased to announce Shifting Points of View, a series of events designed to provoke and enlighten, and maybe even change your perspective on the world.

Featuring Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett, provocateur and documentary-maker John Safran, Australian feminist Clementine Ford, British journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge, author Witi Ihimaera, surgeon David Galler, poet Glenn Colquhoun, Ngāi Tahu storyteller Joseph Hullen and more, Shifting Points of View takes place throughout September 2017 as part of the Christchurch Arts Festival.

For discussions on failure, racism, feminism, music, politics, extremism, gothic literature, local Ngāi Tahu stories and the things that matter most in life, visit our website for the full line-up of speakers and events, and check out the amazing Christchurch Arts Festival programme which launched last night!

Tickets for all events go on sale 21 June through Ticketek. A Shifting Points of View season pass will also be available.
