Written by ‘Hua Parakore farmers, activists, Indigenous researchers and Indigenous food sovereignty leaders Jessica Hutchings and Jo Smith, Pātaka Kai encourages a return to Indigenous values and practices to achieve kai sovereignty and wellbeing for Mother Earth and her people’.
The book calls attention to the need for Indigenous perspectives and practices that offer pathways to ecological, cultural and socio-economic sustainability in the face of a biodiversity crisis, and teaches of a greater connection to food in our everyday lives.
Beth had a kōrero with Jessica Hutchings about Pātaka Kai: Kai Sovereignty.
In a career spanning three decades, Tony Fomison was a notable New Zealand painter, whose works were often dark, and who shed light on the human condition and reimagined life in Aotearoa.
Tony Fomison: Life of the Artist is a new biography written by Mark Forman, published by Auckland University Press. In this biography - the first full one of its kind to be published - Forman draws on archival material and interviews with over 150 people, including Fomison’s family and close friends, leading contemporary artists, political activists, and art professionals. However, notably, due to the varying recollections of those who knew the artist, Forman had to leave reproductions of Fomison's unique paintings out of the book.
Sofia spoke to Forman about what made him embark on this research, Fomison himself, and navigating representation of him.
John Davies joined Sofia and Beth in studio to chat about Te Tupua - The Goblin, a solo play written and performed by Davies himself. Tickets for tonight's show at Te Pou Theatre here.
