And it's me and a friend left in a room / just me and a friend / out of this place now or else we're never gonna get out of here / just left in a room / that's all.
Happy Rāpare! Thanks for spending your morning with Rosetta and Milly - they've got a great brekkie show for you lined up! E whai ake nei; Fashun with Penelope Noir, Isthmus'n That with Desley Simpson, and a kōrero with Athina of Gut Health! Whakarongo mai nei!
Tom talks to Ema Tavola, founder of Vunilagi Vou - a new gallery, consultancy and shop in the heart of Ōtāhuhu. Ema talks to their recentshow LAIN BLO YU MI – Our People Our Lines . It was an exhibition that payed homage to Auckland-based Papua New Guinean-Australian mark maker, Julia Mage’au Gray, and her significant role in the revival of Melanesian female tattoo practice. She spoke about their new FAFSWAG 6 show, and reflects on FAFSWAG's humble beginnings in her living room. Tavola kept giving little hints at how varied and exciting her life has been of late - speaking trips to Morocco, Hong Kong, and The Democratic Republic of Congo (to speak to the legacy of Bauhaus) have featured in her life.
