New Zealand to Menton

On travelling in Katherine Mansfield’s footsteps: Sue Wootton will talk about traveling to Menton in 2023 as the fiftieth Katherine Mansfield Fellow, and the various ways that this opportunity to be immersed in a different place and culture inspired and influenced her writing.

Since 1970, the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship has allowed a New Zealand writer to live and write for three months or more in Menton in southern France. There, they have access to the writing room in Villa Isola Bella where Katherine Mansfield once lived and worked.

A Friends of the Hocken Collections Talk. The actual Talk starts at 6.15pm as it is preceded by the AGM that begins at 5.30pm – all welcome to both the AGM and the Talk.
