Tāmaki creatives D.Arts and Jane Olsen have an unwavering commitment to the best music around. For Damon Arts, this is demonstrated via his longstanding immersion in Aotearoa's UK influenced bass scene. For Jane, it is through her Parks&Rec mix series, which focuses on easy tunes intended for the sunshine, the park, or the picnic rug. We are so excited that they are back home after five years ripping it up in Amsterdam. Expect an effervescent two hours of music, as D.Arts ramps things up, and Jane Olsen brings us back to earth.

Dance, Dance is artist Kate van Der Drift's current exhibition on now at Sanderson Gallery.
It showcases the artist's time spent at the Waitawa Regional Park, where she was the 2024 Auckland Council artist in residence. During her residency, Kate delved into a new experimental method of cameraless photography. These new methods of Lumen exposures are created by using invasive introduced species from the Waitawa Regional Park and using the specific herbicide that is used to kill that plant.
In a coming together of alchemical entities and experimentation, Kate lands on these beautiful moments of magic—breathtaking images that dance between worlds.
Maya had a chat with Kate about her practice and current exhibition.
