Words in Windows - Workshop 1

Join us in turning Kumeū Arts into a living, breathing poem! For National Poetry Day 2026, we’re inviting our community to fill the Pip Window Gallery—and windows throughout the building—with words, wonder, and a splash of creativity.

 

AUT University Creative Writing Programme Leader Richard Pamatatau will lead the workshop with participants picking the themes for some writing exercises.

 

Write a poem in any language, on paper and watch it become part of a colourful installation. Whether you pen it yourself or have it lovingly handwritten by our team, every contribution adds a new voice to the mix. Expect a joyful patchwork of stories, rhythms, and expressions—spilling across windows and inviting everyone who passes by to pause, read, and be inspired.

 

Come play with words and help us make something beautiful together
