What: Women in the City is an immersive audio walk created to celebrate Women in Tāmaki Makaurau. The walk is a kaleidoscope of real-life stories, biographies of iconic wāhine, anecdotes and everyday women woven together through a fictional narrative.
The women’s voices come together in a beautifully curated audio story that celebrates their legacy as women who live, work, love, lose, forgive and find their own path to feel alive in the city.
