Jenna's just read Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu and highly recommends it. If Charles' work on HBO series, Westworld, isn't enough to entice you to read this book, perhaps winning the Fiction prize in the National Book Awards for 2020 will.

This week the arts community has been remembering Nanette Cameron, who passed away aged 95. She's been dubbed "Aotearoa’s preeminent interior designer" by arts organisation Objectspace, "instrumental in the flourishing of interior design practice in Tāmaki Makaurau and nationally." Her passing has been met with tributes, gratitude and aroha for a woman who is described by those who met her as formidable, a sweetheart and everything in between. To hear more about her life Frances caught up with retired director of Objectspace, Philip Clarke, who was director of Objectspace when they staged the major exhibition and published the publication Nanette Cameron: Interior Design Legend in 2013.
August Ward is an artist who grew up in Tāmaki Makaurau, whose primarily painting practice explores the visual signature and emblems of affluence and desire, consumption and the idealised female form – existing in the uncanny valley of womanhood, letting the contrast and intersection of imperfection and glamour lead the work both practically and conceptually.
Her current solo exhibition at Ivan Anthony, World of Interiors, sees Ward furthering her exploration in this realm of subject matter, expanding her painting and drawing practice in scale and form, bringing these sculptural qualities into the works and space surrounding. Crystals adorning the canvas to form a necklace, ledges attached at the base of others with taxidermied mice, and a cavity for a Miss Dior perfume to perch, these symbols become physical adornments to the glamour of their pictorial counterparts. Pushing and pulling each painting’s textural potential, the idea of the surface sits at the forefront of her relationship with oil paint and graphite as her primary mediums.
Sof caught up with August about World of Interiors ahead of its opening tonight.
Migrant exploitation has been a prominent issue for the last few of months with several protests by community groups that lead to labour launching an immigration review.
Aotearoa Tongan Response group is one of the community groups involved in this movement, advocating for the Pasifika community in particular. Rawan spoke with the group’s organiser and community leader, Manase Lua.
They spoke about the state of migrant exploitation, especially his experience with Pasifika migrant workers. I also asked about his thoughts on both National and Labour’s response to this issue and what policies and actions need to be taken.
Today on Ready Steady Learn, Cheng-Huan Lu is up in the studio to chat with Milly and Rosetta about his research in enhancing diver safety by using a wearable physiological monitoring system. Whakarongo mai nei!
