Rosetta and Milly kick off their coverage of the Auckland Pride Festival, joined by TAKATAPUNANI, MAN(K)ILLA, and Allie Howell - who are part of the Wheke Fortress takeover of Te Tīmatanga this year! Catch them screening their short film on February 14 at the Auckland Art Gallery with a panel of insightful kōrero led by Coco Solid. Whakarongo mai nei!
Amelia is joined by Che aka bb gurl aka Mallshopper for a conclusive list of the best of the best anime of all time PERIOD. But none of that Shonen nonsense - the good stuff.
The trio ressamble for a deep & moody b3b. After their collective mission to the Cobb Valley for Twisted Frequency, the studio holds space to propogate gathered inspiration (alongside reintergeating with societal norms..) 𓆏
Multi-hyphenate arts icon Coco Solid spoke with Rachel about Wheke Fortress, a new community and artist run space she is setting up in Onehunga with Big Fat Raro. Whakarongo mai nei to hear about the kaupapa and supoort the Boosted campaign here!
NZMM rolls around again and there are still gems to be extracted and played on the show, with many goodies 4 U. Thanks and respect as always to @DujonCullingfrd for another selection of bonza beats. Salute!
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.
