Arts & Culture
For many, education is synonymous with uniforms and tote trays, assemblies and sports days. The cool terraces of a lecture theatre; the rotating team of tutors. But another form of education has always existed, and continues in Aotearoa today: teaching that is grounded in relationships, and learning in beloved company.
Past the Tower, Under the Tree offers a portrait of twelve artists and activists crafting a life in community. From street theatre to rap, from the tattoo hut to the meditation hall, each contributor offers a window into unexpected contexts and rich forms of practice.
In these contributions that span love letters to tributes to appeals, we’re invited to reimagine what it means to learn, and to recover a promise in that process: the possibility of a fuller education, where craft and companionship go together.
Featuring contributions from Edith Amituanai, Catherine Delahunty, Mohan Dutta, Dominic Hoey, Areez Katki, Emily Parr, Daniel Michael Satele, Kahurangiariki Smith, Mokonui-a-rangi Smith, Richard von Sturmer, and Terri Te Tau.

Praise for Past the Tower, Under the Tree
“The editors call these 12 stories ‘learning in community’, but they are in fast life lessons, really, stemming from a breadth of experience that is a testament to the reach of the contributors and the vision of the editors. Together they make up a volume that is edifying, yet welcoming; like the best of lessons, it invites you in and takes you further than you thought you could go.” — Art New Zealand
“This book is a quilt, each piece a panel, Kerr’s handsome design the quilting holding the layers together. Like looking at a quilt, or listening to Lou Reed’s New York album, I recommend absorbing Past the Tower, Under the Tree in a single setting. Read it continuously before you revisit and pry open each contribution individually.” — Metro
