Catalyst Literary Arts Journal Publishing, performance, art, literary lava. Catalyst & The Republic of Oma Rāpeti Press.

Catalyst began as a literary journal in 2003 born out of creative writing classes and open mics set up by Doc Drumheller. Both the publishing and performance aspects of Catalyst have continued to flourish in the years since. Catalyst is now a community, an open mic, a touring road show and an international literary arts journal. Catalyst often publishes work in translation and has featured a dozen

different languages since it started. It showcases visual art and design alongside poetry and sometimes the intersection of the two. Catalyst was the first literary journal in NZ to launch a spoken word CD series and has produced 3 collections of poetry/music collaborations since 2006. As a publication, community and performance showcase it has featured in successive Christchurch Writers' Festivals/WORD Christchurch since 2008.
