Going Bananas

Following the stunningly successful Crouching Tiger, Hidden Banana Conference 2005, we are offering a more in-depth look at ourselves in the New Zealand environment at our one-day forum.

Our lively gathering will address key issues and raise critical debate around:

• Establishing our identity from childhood to adolescence.
• Multiple identities more complex than you think.
• Chinese New Zealanders our sense of belonging in the NZ context
• Reel Asians - seeing ourselves on screen.
• Creative New Zealand Chinese - Our burgeoning cultural-creative voices
• Expressions of fusion and a few more surprises......
