Whaea Blue is one of the most talked about books of recent times. This collection of essays by Talia Marshall (Ngāti Kuia, Rangitāne o Wairau, Ngāti Rārua, Ngāti Takihiku) is moving, haunting, funny, intelligent, and brutally honest. Talia writes about the kēhua that haunt her, her trips back to her whenua, her tīpuna, relationships and wāhine friendships, relations she recognises and meets all over the country, and an ability to see tohu everywhere—in birds, in trees, and in the things people say. At this session held at Te Papa on 12 August 2024, Talia talks to Victor Rodger.
