Winner of the 2021 Playmarket Brown Ink award Our Side of the Fence is a story about assumptions between two sets of neighbours, a Māori family and a Pākehā one. By showing that both families misunderstand the other, Rawinia has crafted a story that reflects cultural diversity and builds empathy and understanding. The play demonstrates, through strong and engaging storytelling, that we can all be complicit in the pervasive harms of unconscious bias and stigmatisation.
