Calling Home: Hinemoana Baker in Berlin

From Sunday Morning, 10:10 am on 30 June 2024

Poet and musician Hinemoana Baker (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Toa and Te Āti Awa) is calling home on the eve of her return to Aotearoa.  

She has been living in Berlin since 2016, when she was awarded Creative New Zealand's Berlin Writer's Residency. 

Over the years, she has recorded multiple albums, published books of poetry and attended writers' festivals and arts residences at home and overseas.  

She will be back in New Zealand to take up a writer's residency at Randall Cottage in Wellington.
