The Nooklings
Smooth jazz standards played by sweet selection of musical friends — Alex, Bonnie and Jared — formed around the voices of two wāhine who share delight in the songs they have sung through life.

Cecilia’s Crop
Cecilia’s Crop is a groovy little band based in Aotearoa’s capital. Blending funk, RnB, some acoustic soul, and an odd dash of pop punk, we love to write music that gets people dancing, swinging, and maybe even falling in love. The band usually consists of Carlin, Jack, Rodney, and Sam but this will be a stripped back set with just our guitarist, Carlin, and Sam, the singer.

ABOUT THE BOOK

EVERYTHING THAT MOVES, MOVES THROUGH ANOTHER is a landmark anthology that brings together the creative work of twenty-seven mixed-heritage creatives from across Aotearoa. Weaving together a range of artistic mediums and giving space to both emerging and experienced creatives, this anthology lays the groundwork for deeper and more empathetic conversations around the experience of mixed-heritage individuals.

Through an open call for contributors in 2023, this publication was created in response to the lack of authentic representation for biracial, mixed-heritage and multi-ethnic individuals living in Aotearoa. Everything That Moves, Moves Through Another features photography, comics, essays, poetry and multimedia art.
