Slowing the Sun – Nadine Hura

Overwhelmed and often unmoved by the scientific and political jargon surrounding climate change, Nadine Hura sets out to find a language that connects more deeply to the environmental crisis. What begins as a journalistic inquiry takes an abrupt and introspective turn following the death of her brother, reshaping the journey into one of grief, reflection, and responsibility.

Moving between science, purakau, poetry, and personal essay, Slowing the Sun explores climate change in relation to whenua and people. Hura asks how we should respond to what has been lost, and what obligations we hold to one another and to future generations. Her essays confront environmental degradation, social disconnection, and Indigenous reclamation, insisting that any meaningful response must be grounded in Te Tiriti and anti-colonial practice.

Both a karanga to those who have passed on and a call to the living, Slowing the Sun urges us to hold fast to ancestral knowledge as we face an uncertain future.
