Interview with 'Articulations' author & disability advocate Henrietta Bollinger

Pōneke-based writer, activist, and disability rights advocate, Henrietta Bollinger’s debut book Articulations is a collection of essays that speak to their experiences as a queer, disabled person in Aotearoa New Zealand. The book journeys through different personal insights; from first crushes and first periods to parliamentary reform and Disability Pride. Bollinger challenges the norms of our ableist society, asking us to consider better ways of being with each other and ourselves.

Here we chat with Bollinger about the process of writing and publishing their first book with Tender Press. You can reserve a copy of Articulations through our catalogue. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Henrietta for taking the time to answer our questions, and for providing such illuminating insights into their writing and disability advocacy work.
