Artbank with Theo

Heidi talks to Owen Connors about SISSYMANCY, the show he organised at play_station Gallery in Wellington. A group of queer artists from around Aotearoa collaborated on some quilts, exquisite corpse style.

Body Matter is a new show at AUT.  Body Matter is curated by members of the Artists in Education Collective Aotearoa (AiECA) - Anya Henis, Cathlin Ward-Michell, Aya Yamashita, Emma Thomsen, Karen Turner, with Janita Craw and Ophelia King. They present work and ideas conceived with/for/by Primary Schools. 

We hear from Xander Dixon, about the peaks and pits of national parks, and how he has addressed them in the 4x4 show at Artspace. We also hear from Maraea Timutimu about her  new work for the Auckland Museum, as well as work with NZTA to do with new roads in Ngai te Rangi territory, Tauranga. 

We talk to Rosanna Raymond, about her involvment with Te Whāinga: A Culture Lab on Civility, at Silo Park, as well as her ongoing practice. We also hear about خانه Home, the exhibit of migrant craft at the Māngere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku. Fahimah and Namkeen Saied are central pillars in the community, and talked about their experiences in creating their craft as a way to foster community in a new home.
