Greens Arts And Culture Policy + Arts in Politics w/ Chlöe Swarbrick: October 6, 2023

We’re currently a week away from the Aotearoa general election, and the majority of parties still don’t actually have a clear arts and culture policy. 

It’s been a bit of an apathetic mood for arts in politics, with Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown threatening to cut back the funding for our local arts centres. 

We also saw only one politician show up to the APRA Silver Scrolls on Wednesday Night, and unsurprisingly it was Chlöe Swarbrick. 

Thankfully, after we reached out to each major party, Chloe was also the only MP willing to chat to us about their arts and culture policy! We recorded this during Fancy New Band, so sorry about the surfy backing track.
