It is estimated that 50 million people worldwide are currently involved in some form of slavery. Many of those who have been enslaved for their labour, and work as child labourers, produce goods that we import and consume on a regular basis here in Aotearoa.
Currently, there is no existing legislation in Aotearoa that requires companies to disclose the source of their goods, or to ensure that their products are being ethically produced; giving them free rein to indulge in modern slavery in order to cut their production costs.
Producer Oto spoke to Dr Susan Maiava, Co-Founder of the ethical directory Fair & Good who have created a petition and open letter urging the government to introduce modern slavery legislation.
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.
Fuck off Fascism Week continues on the Wire: every day this week we’ll be talking to academics, activists and other insightful voices about the concept of fascism and its return to the global political conversation.

Zoë Larsen Cumming interviews the NZ Human Rights Commission's Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Saunoamaali’i Dr. Karanina Sumeo on Australia's Modern Slavery Act and how its influence in New Zealand.
This week, humanitarian agencies in New Zealand released an open letter to the government calling for legislation on ending modern-day slavery. World Vision and Tearfund are calling for the government to roll out legislation that requires businesses to assess where modern-day slavery may be used in their supply chains domestically and globally.
It is estimated by World Vision that around fifty million people are in modern-day slavery with around 27 million experiencing forced labour, with a large number in the Asia-Pacific. Consumer goods imported into New Zealand are often direct products of modern-day slavery.
To talk more about the policy recommendations that World Vision is pushing for, and the broader issue of modern-day slavery in New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific, host Andre Fa'aoso spoke to Morgan Theakston, Advocacy, Campaigns and Communications Manager at World Vision.
This week Sam takes a look at the second studio album from Britpop band Blur "Modern Life Is Rubbish." Released in 1993, on this record, Blur changed their sound completely from a shoegaze-influenced style to a 60s pop-influenced style which helped start Britpop in the UK.
