The Night Mayors are Tāmaki’s underground and underrated, making Auckland a place more people want to stay. It’s a forum to hear how cultural icons of the city actually live, their biggest gripes, and their best ideas for Auckland, plus if they were running for Mayor, what their platform would be.

The evening will be moderated by the incredible Charlotte Ryan.

🎤

Our panel:

Grayson Goffe (Te Āti Awa, Taranaki) – Activist and facilitator working at the intersection of community, Indigenous identity, and creative practice.

Jean Teng – Writer, editor, food podcaster .ate.ate.pod), exploring the ways food and culture shape our lives. Check out her new newsletter .akl!

Katty Atafu-Mayo – Ballroom Mother and multidisciplinary artist, weaving Indigenous healing, ceremony, and creative practice across her work.

Shaquille Wasasala aka HALFQUEEN - DJ, director, event producer and artist. Shaq is a music curator for Splore and is behind some of Tāmaki’s best club nights.
