With summer camping on the way, it's important you know how to improvise when making a cocktail in a camping situation with some non-perishable food in a tin.
This little number involves a bit of bish bosh bash, and tweaking to taste.
In a glass full of ice add:
A few good springs of mint
45 ml x Pear Juice (from a tin of pears)
Feel free to mush some of the pears through a sieve to get added pear juice.
In a full line up, Heidi talks to Hiria Anderson about her show Te Ao Hurihuri and the politics of expressions of knowledge in relation to her currwent show 'Te Ao Hurihuri' at Tim Melville. Hiria also has work included in the epic Toi Tuu Toi Ora exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery right now. Next Kuruho Wetera tunes in to tell us about the game Kaupapa he and Rosie Remmerswaal are designing as a method to loosen the tongues of our ever growing population of reo Maaori speakers. The game has combined multiple art disciplines in its development. Kuruho also tells us about his winding art journey and plans to bring it back to his hometown in Ootaki. Tom shows up mid show to conduct an interview with Loui Bretana in which Loui shares about how star constellations can provide guidance in both navigation of sea and of life. Finally Matt Ritani and Heidi talk about town planning and roading - uncovering some of the history and agendas that Matt does in his practice about many of the infrastructure we take for granted in our everyday lives, as it is shown currently in 'Tumingala Sa Tinitingala Na Mga Tala', at Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Art Gallery. Matt's exhibition at Room Gallery 'All Roads' closed yesterday, but you can see it online and keep your eyes peeled for future work.

This week on Various Artists Frances and Liam take the time to remember the life and works of Ans Westra.
Self-taught, Ans spent long periods of time travelling around the country as a full-time freelance documentary photographer committed to observing and candidly documenting New Zealand life and culture. Ans was a pioneer of documentary photography, and one of the first women to work in this area in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In 1998 she was awarded the Companion of the Order of New Zealand Merit for services to photography. In 2007 she was made an Arts Foundation Icon, an honour bestowed to a living circle of 20 New Zealand artists for their extraordinary lifetime achievements. In 2015 she received an honorary doctorate from Massey University in recognition of her long-standing contribution to New Zealand’s visual culture.
To hear about her life and works Frances talked with Athol McCredie, Curator Photography at Te Papa and also with David Alsop, owner of Suite Gallery and lifelong agent and friend of Ans.
