Nadine Hura is of Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi and Pākehā whakapapa. She grew up in South Auckland but has spent much of her adult life living and working overseas. With a background in kaupapa Māori research and journalism, Nadine’s narrative essays explore themes of language, identity and belonging.
Nadine is our sixth resident writer and will spend her two-week residency completing a manuscript of essays she hopes will contribute to the ongoing conversation about what it means to be bicultural in Aotearoa New Zealand.
