Wellington Writers Walk
Wellington Writers Walk is a series of 23 sculptures which honour and celebrate the lives and works of New Zealand writers past and contemporary, including poets, novelists, and playwrights. It celebrates and commemorates the place of Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington in these writers’ lives and work. Besides providing recognition to some of Aotearoa's most noted writers, the Walk promotes Aotearoa's literature to a wider public, including tourists and visitors to the capital. Since the unveiling of the first 11 sculptures in 2002, the Walk has become a much-loved and integral part of the city's waterfront.
