From opening word to closing lines; daybreak to nightfall; first event to last, the events at AWF bookend a world of stories each day.
But we know Festival-goers’ journeys don’t start and end at the Aotea Centre’s doors.
From filing through the city on early Festival mornings with the fizz of anticipation for what’s ahead; to the satisfied journey home at the end of each day, filled with new ideas, stories and connections, the Festival sets in motion a beautiful reverberation of words and fresh perspectives throughout the city.
To celebrate the city of stories that Tāmaki becomes during AWF, award-winning designer Marcus McShane will weave his bike-bound projector through the city’s streets and alleyways, casting on to its architecture Festival writers’ words that capture the beauty of daybreak and nightfall, each Festival day.
*This is a cycle-led projection route around the inner city that can be followed at walking pace. The full route will last about 1 hour, and attendees are welcome to join for its entirety, or drop in/out. Projection locations will be announced closer to the festival.
