This week we talked to Pita Turei about neglected histories, art, ballet, Ihumātao and his recent artist talk, at dawn, on top of the Waitakere Ranges. We also talked to Kiri McGuire about her glass Taonga Pūoro (musical instruments), her recovery from major injury, and the role art has played in that journey, and her ongoing art practice. McGuire has recently made work with the NZ Army, and also has work at Lovebucket on Karangahape Rd.
A weekly arts magazine show run as a collective by artists and writers active in the Auckland arts community and beyond. Artbank is independent of any art institutions, galleries or funding bodies. The aim is to provide a unique and engaged perspective with a view to providing audiences access to a few of the multiple voices of the arts communities in Aotearoa.
