Stories from home
The 2021 samesame but different festival is a time for us to shake off the upheaval of 2020 and celebrate some of the creative richness that resulted from it. Our festival will platform a rich diversity of LGBTQI+ writers tackling topics that form the foundations of our identities.
Our programme this year tackles the theme of home - a concept that took on new importance during the lockdowns of the past year. What does the idea of home mean to our LGBTQI communities? Some people see home as a place of refuge and relief; for others, it may be a place from which they need to escape.
While the events are all free of charge, seating is limited. Tickets will be available through eventbrite on January 10.

Two to the Power of Five:
The Power of Queer Words

|
Aotearoa’s only LGBTQI+ literary festival, Same Same but Different, is excited to share our special online winter talk series.
Two to the Power of Five: The Power of Queer Words pairs up fascinating queer writers for five fantastic online conversations. The sessions were put together as part of our COVID-19 response, and were held thanks to the support of Creative NZ. |
New Zealand’s LGBTQI+ Literary Festival
In 2016, Wells launched New Zealand’s first LGBTQI Writers Festival – same same but different. His goal was for the festival to be “an exciting event that makes people think about sexuality, difference and community, stretches their understanding, gives them a few laughs and creates a slightly magic space for two days in February."

SponsorshipThe Same Same But Different LGBTQI+ Writers Festival is now in its fourth year, with a proven track record of bold events, strong attendance and stimulating conversations. Each year our programme, held in February as a highlight of the Pride Festival, gets more ambitious. This year we’re looking for support to broaden the festival’s reach and the types of events we hold. Your support can help us achieve this goal.
