Samesame But Different

Join us in 2025 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Samesame But Different, the only festival of its kind in Aotearoa. A highlight of the literary year, Samesame will have an eclectic programme of panel discussion, book readings, poetry evenings and more! Now in its 10th year, the festival provides a space to uphold queer authors and literature with a diverse programme of panels and presentations. There is an ongoing need for spaces that champion queer literature and there is value in capturing our histories, and to reflect on the past decade.
