Environment Minister David Parker announced this week that Auckland Council’s proposal, to more than double their daily water draw from Waikato river, will be fast tracked through the consent process. The Wire have been discussing the fast tracking of certain projects through the consent process for a couple of weeks now, but this week Mary-Margaret spoke to Nate Rew of Te Ara Whatu about the risk of this particular project. Waikato-Tainui are trying to protect their river from this, as they say it will cause long term harm, and that consultation was never attempted with them. Mary-Margaret asked Nate about breaches to Te Tiriti of this nature, and the framing of land issues by media as iwi ‘blocking’ a solution.
Heidi talks to Huriana Koopeke Te Aho about their large-scale work 'Tuuhonotanga' on the Ellen Melville centre. Huriana's work operates in a context of activism around various issues of social justice as well as affirming ways to consider knowledge, and we discuss their journey in finding the integration of Takataapuitanga with Te Ao Maaori. Next Imogen Taylor takes a call to talk about 'Thirsty Work' at Michael Lett. We discuss future directions and the divides between framing a painterly practice and accessing the less tangible operations that it works with. Theo interviews Ivan Lupi about the durational workshop at The Audio Foundation, 'Not as Simple as it sounds', in which they bring up scales of time in addressing trauma.

Renowned Aotearoa artist Michael Shepherd’s latest series, The Disasters of War, is currently being exhibited at Two Rooms Gallery.
Two Rooms explains that ‘these latest works show the silent reality faced by New Zealand’s threatened flora. Many endangered species, like Olearia adenocarpa, Carmichaelia muritai, Myosotis brevis and Poa spania endure in small, often highly modified fragments that sit firmly outside the public view (and imagination)’.
The artistic ethos of Romantic painter Goya is a constant throughout The Disasters of War. Each of Shepherd’s works are framed by black and feature the words, ‘Deaf like Goya’.
Beth spoke with Shepherd about the exhibition, which opened today at Two Rooms Gallery.
Setting the tone with a heavy motor city theme for the first section, smoothening off the edges with dub eccentric sonics followed by detail oriented dance music to end ↟𖣂↟

Documentary director/producer Tina Brown rolls in to talk about her feature, United Skates, a wonderfully engaging framing of US rollerskating rinks and their still-present concurrent threads of community, music, and racial segregation. Mary-Margaret Slack then recommends, while talking as-little-as-she-can [SPOILERS] about, another documentary feature, Tim Wardle's Three Identical Strangers. With limited sessions left as the festival draws to a close, don't sleep on these two. Eight-wheels-out-of-eight / three-strangers-out-of-three.
Producer Corey Fuimaono follows up on his story about Salient FM shutting down, this week interviewing co-editors Kirsty Frame and Rachel Trow. As more drama unraveled, serious questions must now be asked of their owner and principal funder.
