Waitangi Alert 2019 - For A World Without Walls

A small-scale outdoors music & spoken-word event.

A response to the lack of progressive radical events on Waitangi Day. Since 2014 the kaupapa is to circulate progressive and revolutionary perspectives on halting racist colonialism, bigotry and societal ills.

This year will be inclusive of ‘For A World Without Walls,’ a global poetic action called by the World Poetry Movement. 764 readings are confirmed in 126 countries.

‘We stand for a world free of all discrimination between people, because of their colour, national identity, social status, gender, or beliefs.

‘Poetry is a way to make walls fall, walls between us and the walls inside ourselves.’ From 2pm on the day the microphone will be open for poets wishing to read or recite words supportive of ‘a world without wallls.’ Interest can be expressed through the facebook event page.

In solidarity with indigenous and persecuted people worldwide Waitangi Alert
is the antithesis of the celebratory events given over to the misleading promulgation of Aotearoa as a multi-cultural egalitarian paradise.
