"The arts are the finest and best tools we have for resistance to terror.
The world has always needed the arts, but perhaps never as much as we do today." Professor Peter O'Connor, @universityofauckland #kiakahachristchurch ❤️ https://t.co/n3cPW3jMZL
What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us.
Great to see so many dedicated & talented people from the NZ creative sector recognised for their work 😊 #NZCreativityCounts
