Artbank: 13 December 2020

In a full line up, Heidi talks to Hiria Anderson about her show Te Ao Hurihuri and the politics of expressions of knowledge in relation to her currwent show 'Te Ao Hurihuri' at Tim Melville. Hiria also has work included in the epic Toi Tuu Toi Ora exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery right now. Next Kuruho Wetera tunes in to tell us about the game Kaupapa he and Rosie Remmerswaal are designing as a method to loosen the tongues of our ever growing population of reo Maaori speakers. The game has combined multiple art disciplines in its development. Kuruho also tells us about his winding art journey and plans to bring it back to his hometown in Ootaki. Tom shows up mid show to conduct an interview with Loui Bretana in which Loui shares about how star constellations can provide guidance in both navigation of sea and of life. Finally Matt Ritani and Heidi talk about town planning and roading - uncovering some of the history and agendas that Matt does in his practice about many of the infrastructure we take for granted in our everyday lives, as it is shown currently in 'Tumingala Sa Tinitingala Na Mga Tala', at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Art Gallery. Matt's exhibition at Room Gallery 'All Roads' closed yesterday, but you can see it online and keep your eyes peeled for future work.
