For Stage Direction this week, Sofia and Beth speak to Acacia O'Connor about Asra - a documentary theatre piece as a part of Auckland Fringe festival about experiences of Palestinian prisoners and the importance of culture as practices of resistance and liberation. It's on at Basement Theatre from the 3rd-7th of September. You can get tickets here.
Artspace Aotearoa’s yearly group exhibition, This is the house that jack built, is currently on.
Featuring artists Andy Butler, Kerry Deane, Sara Gómez, Ming Ranginui, Ashleigh Taupaki, and X&Y, the exhibition brings together a fifty-year arc of works from local and international artists to answer the annual question of ‘do I need territory?’.
Through film, sculpture, and site specific drawings, the artists explore the complexity of dynamic geo-political conditions, asking the audience to confront its perceptions of value, class, labour and ownership in present day late capitalism.
Sofia spoke to Kaitohu Director Ruth Buchanan and one of the artists in the show, Ashleigh Taupaki, about the themes of the show and Taupaki’s work.
Modern Women: Flight of Time is a new major show at Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Art Gallery.
Combining over 80 paintings, prints, sculptures and textiles from public and private collections across Aotearoa from 1920 to 1970, the exhibition highlights the leading role women artists have played in shaping the development of modern art.
Including iconic figures such as Rita Angus, Frances Hodgkins, and A Lois White, the exhibition also aims to celebrate the significant contributions of lesser known women artists such as June Black, Flora Scales and Pauline Yearbury.
The exhibition has been curated by Auckland Art Gallery Curator of New Zealand Art Julia Waite.
Sofia spoke to Julia about the show, her curation process, and how the exhibition uncovers themes of women’s artistic practices in the 20th century.
Beth caught up with Pōneke-based writer Flora Feltham about her new book Bad Archive and her processes as a creative non-fiction writer.

Flora Feltham is a writer from Pōneke Wellington. After completing her Masters in Creating Writing, she published Bad Archive, a book of essays, through Victoria University Press.
The language of Flora’s essays is expressive and provides for rich creative scope. Author Rose Lu described it as ‘idiosyncratic, warm and wry, [moving] seamlessly across time and space.’
Beth caught up with Flora about Bad Archive and her processes as a creative non-fiction writer.
