Sarah Yates is in the studio, talking about her ceramic megaphones. Are they an all powerful gamechanger for the picket line? Perhaps... We hear a bit her upbringing in the driver's seat, car-racing around the north island.
The we hear from architecht and writer Jade Kake - about her numerous pursuits. She is working on two papakāinga housing projects in her home town of Whangarei. She has also been working with Artspace and Xander Dixon to create a piece of writing for their 4x4 publication. We briefly chat about her other writing projects, including forays into fiction.
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.
Amelia brings you more bossa, trip hop, and a bit of Italian silliness to see you through your Thursday afternoon.

AndWahn, AKA Andy, is a Tamaki Makaurau-based electronic artist with a taste for big breaks, big bass, and big feels! In 2019, during a bus ride into town, an old mate sent him a YouTube link to an Omar S mix, and from there Andy?s obsession with electronic music began. He started attending the grand church of the OK Listen club night & sifting through Bandcamp, and thus was beckoned forward into the world of breakbeat, electro, jungle, and footmahi. Andy's recent activity includes his Friendly Potential guest mix, his track "Swollen Grime" on FOOTMAHI 2022, and his collab with Nuance "Clear Blue" on Strange Behaviour's compilation Uneasy Clubbing. For his BFC radio mix, he delivers us a selection of UKG numbers in the first half, before throwing down for the rest with strictly 160 cuts.
