Kia ora and welcome to the Kātoitoi 2021 podcast series.

This is a special limited edition podcast series of five interviews commissioned by Creative New Zealand as a part of the 2020 Kātoitoi pilot. This interview and illustration sits within a series of commissioned essays, interviews, podcasts and artworks to be published over 12 weeks supported by CNZ.

In this special series we’ll hear from five of the review panel, each of whom looked at work within three categories to help select the final complied archive for this year.
