Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Founded in 1989, takahē magazine exists to develop and promote art and literature that represents the diverse voices of Aotearoa New Zealand within the global context, publishing innovative short fiction, poetry, art, and critique by emerging and established practitioners. Many of Aotearoa’s brightest literary talents made their first appearance within our pages, and we remain committed to publishing the best work from new creatives alongside that of established writers and artists. takahē is published three times a year: in April, August, and December. The Takahē Collective Trust is the non-profit organisation behind the magazine, which acts to support and promote writers, poets, artists, and cultural commentators. The Takahē Collective Trust affirms and upholds the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Between 1989 and 2022, we published takahē magazine in various digital and print forms from our base in Ōtautahi, and the Trust acknowledges Kāi Tahu as the kaitiaki and takata whenua of that land. Since 2023, the magazine has been published digitally by a more geographically dispersed team. The Trust recognises the mana whenua of all iwi throughout Aotearoa, as well as the traditional owners of other lands.
