BENT - the Te Waka Tuhura Elam School of Art’s queer collective, are set to open an exhibition very soon, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Elam’s first queer exhibition, Queer Pictures, back in 1985.

To discuss this upcoming exhibition, Radio Mother co-host, Joel, spoke to Kaitlyn Merriman and Rosa Turley, who are both Master of Fine Arts students, and are involved in the background-side of the exhibition, about the exhibition, and what people should expect.

Here is that interview.
