Winter is upon us, which means that tree planting season is too. Apart from being quite huggable, trees are one of our best bets at mitigating climate change and our native wildlife depends on them for shelter and food. This week on the Green Desk Frances Wright caught up with Robyn Haugh, the CEO of Trees That Count, a native tree planting initiative that works through a gifting and planting system. They spoke about how Trees That Count came to be, and what it’s doing for our planet and Aotearoa's biodiversity. Whakarongo mai!

Alag is artist Tarika Sabherwal’s first solo exhibition at Season Aoteaora.
The title itself has a double meaning, by which it can be read as either alāg, as in the Hindi word for separate, apart, parted, or different; or a lag, as in a lag in communication or a glitch in some sort of system.
The images are drawn from Hindi iconography, continuing a theme in Sabherwal’s practice of exploring and reimagining well-known motifs, as seen in paintings of horses and felines, for example.
The works show a continuation of a side of Sabherwal’s practice which uses an airbrush tool to paint onto raw canvas, creating a dyed effect and bold contrast.
Sofia had a kōrero with Tarika about her practice and Alag.
Joe Kaptein is up in the studio, chatting to Rosetta and Milly about his new album Pool Sharks - out now digitally and on vinyl! Joe also chats about his forthcoming gigs this Thursday and Friday at The Apartment on K Road. Whakarongo mai nei!
Today on the show we have our first gig guide in a sweet while which honestly, is so exciting. We also have some tracks in response to what ya'll are doing today and during the weekend which leads us down some weird rabbit holes. Enjoy!
