Artist Ana Iti (Te Rarawa) has been announced as the winner of the $50,000 Walters Prize 2024 for her sculpture and sound installation ‘A resilient heart like the mānawa’. Sofia had a kōrero with Ana about celebrating the win, the creation process behind this work, and what’s next for her and her practice.
Beth had a kōrero with curator James Gatt about from elsewhere, a collaborative exhibition currently showing at Te Uru Gallery which aims to address the notion of being ‘from elsewhere’.
For Stage Direction this week: Alice Canton is in to chat with Ravi and Jayshri Ratnam from Prayas Theatre about Tiffin Box on at Basement Theatre from next week.
