Miranda July: Lost Child!

Overview

We're not quite sure which category to pop this event under.

But that's quite telling of its creator, too: Miranda July blurs the lines of quite a few roles. Award-winning filmmaker, writer, mother and multimedia artist, she is performing her one woman show-slash-artist-lecture-slash-interactive-performance, Lost Child! only once for the New Zealand Festival. She wrote the piece aged just seven years old, and the performance continues through this piece to span her career from burgeoning/fledgling artist to one of America's most well-recognised artists and bestselling authors.

Her portfolio of work is long, varied and recognised, from her Camera D'Or-winning film piece Me and You and Everyone we know (2005) to her short story collection No-one belongs here more than you (2008), which won the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. Her artworks include such mediums as a messaging app Somebody, which connects strangers to deliver messages to each other. Her work Eleven heavy things was presented at the Venice Biennale (2009), New York's Union Square and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Her work is seen in publications such as The Paris Review, The New Yorker and the New York Times.

Don't pass this opportunity up to see a remarkable artist, woman and brain at work.
