After a genocide event, there are voices of remembrance by generations of past survivors. The victims live with the trauma of the experience which is passed on to following generations of survivors. How does this affect individuals, groups, and nation-states? What does acknowledgement and commemoration mean for genocide awareness and justice? Doug Becker speaks with Stephen D. Smith, Dovile Budryte, and Maria Armoudian.

Native Bush (Ngāti Pikiao/Ngā Puhi) refuses to be perceived within linear bounds >>> instead see them as a creator drawing inspiration from the meetings of past, present and future. Through many facets and art forms they transcend bounds and binaries, rousing and familiarising the space between known and unknown.
Their collective work with Blood Mothers and SYSTEM OF A BROWN initiated and nurtured their trajectory of meditative revolt. As SYSTEM OF A BROWN they create space ; REFORM@ >>> a self-autonomous manifestation of contemporary club and oceanic expression.
Kaishandao is a Pōneke-born, Chengdu-based musician and producer, who is behind the online portal and touring company Kiwese. A few months ago, she self-released the Homeland EP, an enigmatic debut that seems to wed hypnagogic memories to the pulse, structure and dynamics of dance music. She shares a mix made during an unexpected two-week hotel quarantine, which shifts from slowburning melancholy to meditative rhythms and emotional bops.
To close, we hear from ajhoneysuckle, a Tainui/Samoan deejay based in Ōtautahi. Her sets centre nostalgic melodies, rhythmic breaks, and big basslines, and have quickly seen her get booked for some of the bigger parties across Aotearoa. Tonight, she shares a mix that focuses on the darker elements of Drill, Grime, Dub, and Hip-hop before transitioning into high energy UK-inflected sounds.
Ep. 291 w/ Earthen Sea and Astrid Øster Mortensen.
Jacob Long has been crafting Earthen Sea material since the early 2000s. He gradually graduated from limited-edition cassettes to releases on Ital's Lover's Rock and Nicolas Jaar's Other People imprints, before linking up with the evergreen label Kranky in 2017. His third album for Kranky, Ghost Poems, comes out next week. We celebrate with an hour of music built as spring emerges around him in Brooklyn, full of contrasts between light and decay.
Astrid Øster Mortensen is a Denmark-born, Sweden-based experimentalist and musician, and is responsible for some of the most beautiful music around. This includes last year's Gro Mig En Blomst LP, and the recent album Skærgårdslyd, both rough-hewn and deeply personal journeys through the Gothenburg archipelago. She shares a hushed and haunting mix in the second half.
Next Saturday will see the first Zine and Art Market put on by the By Artist and For Artists Collective , aka By and For.
The new collective will be aiming to provide more artist tun spaces and events around Tāmaki Makaurau with the ultimate goal of breaking down the barriers for people to enter the arts community of Aotearoa.
Liam had a chat with Clove, from Of Crafts and Curious, about the collective, the market, and, naturally, socialism.
Tomorrow's World is back, and new host Leilani had a chat with Lisa Te Morenga, Associate Professor in Nutrition and Māori Health, and Population Health Doctoral candidate Pippa McKelvie-Sebileau. They talk about how 7/10 Type 2 diabetes cases are diet related, how Aotearoa fits into that statistic, and steps we could take in the future.

Last week two reports were released by the Office of the Ombudsman after the inspection of a Women’s prison in Christchurch and the Wellington Arohata prison.
The chief of the Ombudsman along with advocacy groups such as Amnesty International and Justspeak have come forward to criticise the treatment of prisoners and the cultural and leadership issues.
Poor treatment included, long lock up hours, lack of privacy in toilets and bathrooms and neglect in high security areas. Amnesty and Justspeak have also made a submission to the UN comittee against torture, to stop the use of spit hoods on young people.
Rawan spoke with Lisa Woods, from Amnesty international about the results of the recent reports and what needs to be done.
Frances speaks to Mark Amery and Sophie Jerram about their new book ‘Urgent Moments’ on the story of public art curations in the cultural climate of the mid 2000’s, and with New Zealand fashion designer and wool enthusiast Liz Mitchell about her upcoming exhibition ‘This Raw Material’.
Liam speaks to artist and advocate Judy Darragh about the arts in the upcoming election and to Dan Arps about about his Nirvana Park exhibition at Micheal Lett Gallery 2.
And—of course—to round off the show, we take you through the art guide for Tāmaki Makarau this week.
