Unfurling Māori & Pasifika Print Publishing: A Group Study Session at the Feminist Library

2026    In this group study session, we explored periodicals from the Feminist Library’s collection relationg to Māori & Pasifika feminist organising in the late 20th Century. 

Together we asked questions including: 
︎︎︎ How did you arrive here? How did this material arrive here? What is the relationship between your journeys?
︎︎︎ How does this material challenge or diverge from Western Feminism from this era? In what ways does it replicate it?
︎︎︎What is the relationship between oral tradition and print publishing? How do these two technologies of distribution intermingle?  
︎︎︎How have indigenous practises of knowledge sharing and collective decision making gone on to shape authorship, editorial processes, and collective organising?
︎︎︎What has changed in the struggle for indigenous sovereignty? What hasn’t?
