Your prayers have been answered, Tuva'a is back in town and back on Rāmere Drive! Featuring a double bill of two bands both by way of Te-Whanganui-a-Tara on Friday Live. First up is Goya who are in town for the release tour of their LP Home Turf. Luckily, E.U.G. are also in town for the same tour and bring you another in-studio set of heavy hitting Welly punk, brought to you by NZ On Air Music, with thanks to McLeod's Brewery.
Taking advantage of recent tours by Te-Whanganui-a-Tara bands, we're stoked to host Goya in the bFM studio to hear a couple tracks from their wicked LP Home Turf before they head up to Whammy Bar.
E.U.G., what does it stand for? Whakarongo mai nei to find out and also catch a blistering set by the Pōneke post-punk quartet before they head up Karangahape Road to support Goya on the Auckland leg of the tour across the motu.
Earlier this week, Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle (Ngāpuhi) resigned from Parliament.
They cited concerns for their safety following receiving ‘hate, vitriol and threats of real-world violence.”
Earlier this year, research found online threats of physical and sexual violence have caused Members of Parliament to feel ‘fearful, anxious and distressed.’
Wire Host Caeden spoke to Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Canterbury, Cassandra Mudgway, about this issue and potential solutions.
Provenance III is a new group exhibition on at Ivan Anthony, the third of its exhibition series. Provenance brings together a collection of artists, emerging, established as well as European Antiquities. Pulling them together in space to create this rich cosmos of dialogue. A unique encounter between works that speak to this lineage of storytelling.
Maya had a kōrero with two of the artists showing work within Provenance III Sophie Grieg and Erika Holm. Speaking to them on their respective practices and works within the show.
Sophie Grieg produces mesmerizing paintings that draw from the medieval, renaissance, illuminated manuscripts, as well as personal family narratives. Creating works enriched with intricate webs of fairy-tale-like fables, encased in these architectural framing devices. Housing these women of Greig’s practice, as well as their stories and lessons that they pass on.
Erika Holm creates beautiful sculptures that are informed by items of furniture and house hold objects that demand this connection of body, and to an act of ritual. Holm takes these ritualistic objects and embeds their core structure with forms of the body. Re-attaching the body to these points of human connection that are held within the daily rituals of objects.
