Shine On Katherine Mansfield

This exhibition offers the opportunity to read about and watch the web series Shine On Katherine Mansfield during your visit to Katherine Mansfield House & Garden.

“Katherine Mansfield’s not dead. She lives vibrantly in the hearts and minds of scores of people here and everywhere, 100 years since she died.” – Anna Cottrell

Shine On Katherine Mansfield is an eight-part web series exploring Katherine Mansfield's legacy and how she continues to inspire people today. It features some of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most prominent creatives, along with one of Mansfield’s biggest fans who lives ‘At the Bay’, and a family with an astonishing connection to Mansfield through a story of Second World War survival.

The 2023 centenary of Mansfield’s death highlighted her ongoing influence and inspired director Anna Cottrell of AC Productions to create the series. Each episode is between four and eight minutes long and was released by Newsroom in November 2024 and RNZ in March 2025.

Katherine Mansfield House & Garden is proud to have worked with AC Productions on the concept for the series. We invite you take the opportunity to sit in the house in which Katherine Mansfield was born over 100 years ago and see how her life and writing continues to stimulate creativity today.
