A New Light- a bike-bound projection to celebrate Auckland Writers Festival

From filing through the city on early Festival mornings with the fizz of anticipation for what’s ahead; to the satisfied journey home at the end of each day, filled with new ideas, stories and connections, the Festival sets in motion a beautiful reverberation of words and fresh perspectives throughout the city.

To celebrate the city of stories that Tāmaki becomes during Auckland Writers Festival, cycle or walk behind award-winning designer Marcus McShane as he weaves his bike-bound projector through the city’s streets and alleyways, casting on to its architecture Festival writers’ words that capture the beauty of daybreak and nightfall, each Festival day.

*This is a cycle-led projection route around the inner city that can be followed at walking pace. The full route will last about 1 hour, and attendees are welcome to join for its entirety, or drop in/out.

Note: The cycle-led projections take place in a loop through the CBD at 6.45am and 5.10pm each day of the public programme.
