For a full list of artists for each show, head to youareus.co.nz.
These events are being produced by the industry’s main music promoters working together with support from various organisations from New Zealand and other parts of the world.
You Are Us/Aroha Nui is also fortunate to have the support of some of New Zealand’s top fashion designers – Harman Grubisa, Karen Walker and Zambesi – alongside New Zealand artist Ruby Jones, who have all created individual designs for special commemorative t-shirts [see below]. A very limited number of t-shirts [made with the support of Love Police] will be available to be purchased at the event only and will cost $40 with all proceeds going to the Our People, Our City Fund.
Artist Ruby Jones, who’s globally-shared image of two women from different cultures embracing each other fast became a powerful representation of New Zealand’s resilience, explains the meaning of her design.
"This design represents us growing closer as a nation, moving forward from the Christchurch attacks. A greater closeness, a greater openness to others, which I hope will not fade into a moment, but instead will bind us to a national identity we can truly be proud of.”
