Curator's Insights: An exhibition tour of 'Janet Frame's Bookshelf: A Writer's Reading Life'
This year marks the centennial of the birth of acclaimed writer Janet Frame. Her literary and personal papers, held at Hocken Collections, have recently been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Aotearoa Register. These papers are central to the exhibition 'Janet Frame's Bookshelf: A Writer's Reading Life'. Join curator Kirstie Ross on a 30-minute tour of this exhibition, which presents a fresh perspective on Frame’s writing and reading. Kirstie will share fresh insights on the relationship between these two activities, using evidence found in Frame’s papers and now on display in the exhibition.
