Indiscreet Tourist is an exhibition by Rupert Travis opening at Föenander gallery.
All works painted during Travis’ time spent overseas in the South of France, Indiscreet Tourist is a response to what catches our attention as we travel and observations that might go unnoticed by locals otherwise.
Through the eyes of the tourist, it explores ideas of the familiar and the unfamiliar.
Sofia spoke to Rupert about his practice, what inspires his work, and the themes of Indiscreet Tourist.
Break dawn on the B! Grab a coffee and tune in to a weekend debrief with Elle and Joel and some cracker tunes.

This episode of bLine heads to J-Day, an annual celebration of cannabis culture and a protest against Aotearoa's current cannabis legislation. We spoke with the people at J-Day about what the event represented to them and why cannabis should be legalised.

Thanks to all of our guests, everyone who spoke with us at J-Day, PhD candidate at the University of Otago, Wetini Rapana, and Policy Director at the New Zealand Drug Foundation, Jacek Kolodziej.
