About AILas

Kia ora! This is a journey of art and literature. At each stop, you will not only encounter the works of outstanding poets and artists from around the world, but also the creative expressions of young talents in painting, visual arts, poetry and more.

Every piece preserves the author’s or artist’s native language and cultural roots, while also being translated into Chinese (with more languages to be added in the future).

The journey is guided by a Chinese New Zealand poet, for whom Mandarin is a second language. Thus, the first step begins with the works of world-renowned Chinese poets and artists, as well as translations for non-Chinese-speaking artists and writers.

The Aotearoa International Literary & Arts Society warmly welcomes writers and artists from all corners of the globe—of different races, cultures, and traditions—yet united by shared human values, to join us in embarking on this beautiful and lifelong rewarding voyage of culture and art.

Supporting the Arts and Literature

 

The Aotearoa International Literary & Arts Society will translate the artists and poets' work explanations and writing, publish them in the Chinese media, and offer the chance to let artists and poets join the world competition.

 

The AILAS will promote the Chinese artists and writers' work in foreign languages and give them a chance to showcase their pieces on the world stage. 

Our Kaupapa and Values

The Aotearoa International Literary & Arts Society focuses on art display, publishing weekly poems, and publishing multi-language literature and art books.
