More than just a pretty face

The NZ High Commission in India hosted a festival promoting cultural exchange between the two nations in Delhi, April 5-28. Entitled Aotearoa: The Land of the Long White Cloud, the event included a film festival, art exhibition, lecture program, and a musical concert. NZ High Commissioner to India, Caroline McDonald: “There are a couple of reasons for organising Aotearoa in Delhi. One, we want to showcase aspects of NZ beyond its cricket and picturesque locales. Secondly, despite rapid developments in the Indo-NZ relationship, there has hardly been any interaction at the cultural level.”
