Frances catches up with curator Yasmine Ganley to hear about the Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival. 

Liam is BACK! And Frances is not. But we go forth, with Joe at our side! E whai ake nei, coming up on the show today:

Liam had a chat with the good people behind Printopia, an awesome arts festival celebrating printmaking over at Corbans Estate Arts Centre next weekend.
Guest Producer Joe Wiickins talked to Diana Hu from Street Talk about Horizons, a dance movement centred around the Asian migrant story in Aotearoa and how it explores identity.
Guest producer Sam Clark speaks to Gretchen La Roche from Creative New Zealand about the $22M additional arts funding for established festivals. 

A couple of months ago a group of Asian New Zealand street dancers banded together to create a moving image dance cover to "The Wandering Songstress (天涯歌女)." This project was called Horizons, as it explores how Asian New Zealanders got to where they are today as someone before them followed their dreams and pursued a certain ‘horizon’ of a distant land. Horizons explores Asian migrant themes in Aotearoa NZ and looks at personal journeys through the expression of street dance, visual imagery and music whilst acknowledging and remembering those who came before the. Joe spoke to Diana Hu, part of Street Talk and the Horizons project, about this piece and ties in with exploring one's identity.
