PODCAST Layers of Identity - Aahana Mundamattam
“Being someone who's moved around in their childhood, you'd think I'd be a bit more accustomed to change, but I am someone who likes to spend a long time in one place and really establish myself there.”
Aahana, a Year 11 student at Taieri College, explores her "complex relationship" with the idea of home in her poem Home is a Feeling. She draws on her experiences as an Indian living in Bangladesh , Malawi , and now New Zealand.
