An expanded public art programme will be used to tell “diverse stories” during the 2021 Cubadupa street festival on March 27-28. Public art curator Mark Amery has brought together a programme that focuses on innovative ways to dig deeper into local stories of diverse ethnic and migrant communities. These would range from a giant stage set for karaoke and poetry to live embroidery, involving New Zealanders of Māori, Asian, Columbian, and Congolese descent. The programme also includes Curators of Cuba – a free roving live discussion series with the mavericks behind galleries in the Cuba St area and their artists, highlighting a line-up of exhibitions and performances during the weekend.
