Minimal shit talk from Mookie, Buzzy and Benny as they fumble around with seven inches all night, nothing particularly new, mostly old shit, but fuck me if the Cry Now, Cry Later comps don't go hard as eh. Remember when black metal bands insulted each other in their liner notes? We sure do.
It's Mental Health Awareness week, and Ben is talking about stigma with a mother who lost her son. It’s Worry Week on the Wire once again and we are learning about cultural appropriation; Fashion Nova recently released a geisha inspired costume, so we are speaking to a faculty member of Auckland University’s Japanese department. In his international segment this week, we are learning about the Brazilian election. And finally, for the Green Desk this week, we chat about gene-editing and a discussion paper to get people talking.
The RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under Season 4 special as we head into the finale! Joel speaks to Nikita Iman, a top 5 contestant, and the finalists, Mandy Moobs, Vybe, Freya Armani, and Lazy Susan, while listening to a mix of calm indie and upbeat house! Whakarongo mai!
Ruminations: Encrypting My Mother Tongue is a new exhibition by artist Anthony Zemke showing as part of the Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival. It is a ‘visual exploration of the struggle faced by diasporic and mixed-race individuals to connect with a mother tongue they may never know’ (Auckland Arts Festival).
The exhibition runs through the festival of Naw-Rúz (Nowruz) which is celebrated as a time of renewal, reconnection and reflection by Iranians, Baháʼís, and various other communities.
The series of paintings and drawings aim to transform feelings of shame and guilt into celebrations of heritage and belonging through calligraphic abstraction.
