Signum University, along with members of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Tolkien Fan Community, invites you to join us for our first Kiwi Moot. This English-language hybrid event will take place at Courtenay Creative in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. For our first Kiwi Moot, we invite you to bring your sense of wonder and imagination to scan the skies for Stars and Signs

The Conference will be talks, presentations and events related to J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings and related books, movies and other works.

Our conference theme is Stars and Signs, and we are open for submissions for workshops, discussions, presentations, performances, and academic papers. Please consider whether you wish to contribute – no prior experience is necessary and this will be a warm and welcoming community experience

Kiwi Moot promises to be a unique gathering where the light of scholarship meets the landscapes that brought the myths to life. We invite you to join us in tracing the constellations of meaning that guide us through Tolkien’s enduring masterpiece.
