Dan Taipua

Saturday 5th July

Dan Taipua (Waikato-Tainui) is a writer and critic working in Tāmaki Makaurau. His interests cross through art history, popular culture and Te Ao Māori with a particular focus on futurism and imagined worlds.

Taipua's first zine 'THE END' was produced for Pride Fest Out West, collecting images of over 100 end-title cards from feature films. His second zine 'AOTEAROA FUTURISM' collects a decade of writing on indigenous futures, sci-fi, fine art and pop culture - the first publication with a single focus on this subject.
