We bring you a show full of prizes, chats and tunes on this soggy Monday. Penelope Noir explores the iconic Fashun of Star Wars, specifically Princess Leia's white dress (which has a lot of mystique and scandal surrounding it). Suri reviews The Late Americans from Brandon Taylor on Loose Reads, a campus novel with a bucket load of intrigue. Whakarongo mai nei!
CIRCUIT, the platform dedicated to supporting Moving Image Artists, is about to release Otherwise Worlding, a new reader on artists’ animation featuring essays, conversations, and a playthrough of an interactive game.
CIRCUT ask How can animation in contemporary moving image practices be critical of the commercial demand for spectacle and efficiency? How can it serve as a tool for worldbuilding and re-imagining history beyond imperialist, white, cis, male-dominated narratives?
No small questions. To hear about the reader and the opening event Frances caught up with CIRCUIT director Mark Williams on Various Artists.
The year was 1985 when Ngahiwi starred in a reggae special of Radio With Pictures, filmed at Victoria University's Union Hall. He was there with Dread Beat & Blood and Herbs. And from then, it became a bangin' nationwide tour, with Ardijah joining in.
It's that time of the year on Breakfast Food- what Christmas kai are we all planning? Lucinda returns with full force! Tiny Ruins has a kōrero about playing Save the b very soon. Robbie Nicol is in the studio to talk about White Man Behind A Desk, his monthly live comedy chat show at Basement Theatre.
Oto talked to Tāmaki Makaurau singer-songwriter of Bangladeshi origin, Sabreen, just after the release of her most recent single: Countryman.
Countryman is a song that takes listeners on a narrative journey through the life of Joe Kum Yung, a retired miner of Chinese origin who came to Aotearoa in the early 20th century, who was murdered by a white supremacist.
Oto talked to Sabreen about the process she went through in writing the song, as well as why Joe Kum Yung's story resonated with her.
The Good Oil is an arts podcast dedicated to long form conversations with Aotearoa painters about their lives and practices.
Hosted by Graeme Douglas, the podcast has thus far interviewed the likes of most recently Darryn George, as well as other senior established artists such as Dame Robin White and Dick Frizzell, but also younger, more emerging artists such as Claudia Kogachi and Hannah Ireland.
With Season Three now launched, Sofia spoke with Graeme about what motivated him to start the podcast, his own relationship to art, and his process.
