Leilani Kake is starting a series of hui where people can practise their reo Maaori without too much formality, lubricating their arero with wine and cheeses, and discussing the artworks at Vunilagi Vou. Te Reo Toitoko, it's called, playing on toi: art, and tautoko: support. Gallery founder, Ema Tavola is also here, chiming in to make sure we've all got the crucial info we need about how to get there.
(First one kicks off on Thursday Jan 23 at Vunilagi Vou, 4/256 Great South Road, Otahuhu)
Next Lesley Dixon tells us about the journeys in and out of collaboration and connection her otherwise practice in solitude in large-scale sand drawing has taken her on, and the many ways in which other people have become involved at times.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's the day after Laneway, things are a little dusty; His Worship dials in to talk Ihumātao, Fuller's ferries, and the City Rail Link; Blain Cunneen joins us after playing guitar for Julia Jacklin, and ahead of his own gig tonight; Sam gives us a review of a show he's been keeping secret for a bit; and Chris Bainbridge chats to us about 3D printing. Happy recovery day.
Loads of weird shit, starting the show with a stack of upsetting noise from Chaotic Noise Productions before devolving into the usual mess with fragments of the 1975 Peter Weir film, Picnic At Hanging Rock spread throughout.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: In times like this, music is our go to, and we're here for you with tunes a-plenty; Alice Canton pops in to talk about her upcoming show Year of the Tiger (虎—hǔ); and Jenna pops in with a book to help you do nothing.
