    Dunedin artists boosting environmental awareness and biodiversity

    • 29 Nov 2017
    • Urban Dream Brokerage
    • <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Josh Thomas (an Urban Dream Brokerage Advisory Board member) heads the water diviners at the opening of Awa HQ. Image: Justin Spiers. Water divining in the Dunedin town belt has kicked off the first of two innovative public art commissions, which sees artists respond to the city’s environmental needs as part of Te Ao Tūroa, Dunedin’s Environment Strategy. In a programme called Environment Envoy, Dunedin’s Urban Dream Brokerage announce two projects following a call for proposals in August: Awa HQ, a collaboration by Angela Lyon, Aroha Novak and Charlotte Parallel dedicated to Dunedin’s Toitū stream, and What Grows Where You Live, a project led by artist Ruth Evans involving revegetation and artwork creation with native plant species. The commissions, worth $6500 each, are part of Dunedin's Urban Dream Brokerage service, funded by Dunedin City Council and supported by national public art organisation Letting Space. “We are working to encourage Dunedin’s community to see their local environment in new ways, and specifically to get more action happening to increase biodiversity,” says Dunedin City Councillor and Te Ao Tūroa Partnership Chair David Benson-Pope. “The city is also using and creating strong partnerships between different sectors to deliver a better natural environment. Artists have a vital role to play in all of this – from making new connections and encouraging partnerships to enabling people to see their world from completely different perspectives.” Awa HQ acknowledges Toitū stream, hidden within Dunedin’s CBD, provides a vital connection to Dunedin’s environment and heritage. The project looks at the history, condition and relationships of the stream by gathering together diverse stories, experiences and responses. Treating the stream as a living entity, the artists were inspired by the passing of the Whanganui River Claims Settlement Bill, which in March which gave the Whanganui River, Te Awa Tupua, the same status as a legal person. The project was launched with a picnic and a water divining hikoi with Stephen Kilroy and Taonga Pūoro artists Jennifer Cattermole and Jessica Latton on 25 November. They are now inviting other artists to respond to their call this coming weekend Saturday 9 December 12pm to 4pm by presenting work at Awa HQ, an empty lot at 175 Rattray Street, Dunedin, beside the now concealed stream. Featuring a range of performances, actions, discussions and picnics Awa HQ will culminate in a final hikoi on Saturday 17 February 2018. The second project What Grows Where You Live embraces the biodiversity available in Ōtepoti/Dunedin. Focusing on the plant species raupo, harakeke, kowhai and poroporo, the project begins by working with private and public landowners to introduce native flora across the greater Dunedin region through planting schemes. Materials will be gathered from these sites to be used in constructing art works hosted in a vacant space in Dunedin’s CBD in April 2018. The exhibition will feature workshops for skills and knowledge sharing, and a zine providing understanding of where these plants grow, how to source them, and their traditional application in Māori society. “The Environment Envoy projects will engage more of our community in the work to achieve the goals of Te Ao Tūroa,” says Councillor Benson-Pope, “and also strengthen collaboration between artists and the public, iwi, scientists, councils, business and community groups. We all have a key role to play in enhancing our environment.” For more information: contact Katrina Thomson email: envoy.udb@gmail.com

• • Debate Over Housing Intensification ... Intensifies

    • 3 Mar 2024
    • Salient
    • The debate over the future of Wellington’s housing rages on, as Council continues to grapple with the 220 pages of bullshittery brought to it by the Independent Hearings Panel (IHP) The most recent report brought to council by the IHP contains all of its recommendations for Wellington’s District Plan—the rulebook for urban planning in Te Whanganui-a-Tara—developed via a public consultation process that it has been undergoing since February of last year. However, as pointed out by a number of commentators, many of the recommendations made by the IHP are, frankly, bonkers.

    Orchestra Wellington presents PITA AND THE WOLF A family...

    • 3 Jul 2014
    • Orchestra Wellington
    • Orchestra Wellington presents PITA AND THE WOLF A family concert for all ages Sunday 27 July Wellington Opera House 3pm   Prokofiev – Peter and the Wolf Goss – Tane and the Kiwi Kubik – Gerald McBoing-Boing   Marc Taddei, conductor Dave Fane & Aroha White, presenters with special guest, Bret McKenzie Three classic stories take to the stage in a family concert filled with laughter and magic, presented by David Fane, Aroha White and Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie. Who remembers listening to Saturday morning radio stories? Composer Thomas Goss does! Inspired by Alwyn Owen’s tale, How the Kiwi Lost his Wings, Goss created a delightful musical story, Tane and the Kiwi. Its perky and indomitable little hero has delighted New Zealand audiences for over a decade. Aroha White lends her voice to the birds of New Zealand that star in this story. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf is a popular favourite that needs no introduction – except this time, the orchestra gives Prokofiev’s classic a Pasifika twist. Adapted by David Armstrong, Peter turns into Pita, thanks to David Fane of Bro’town and Outrageous Fortune fame. Bret McKenzie leads the laughter in a musical adaptation of Dr Seuss’ humorous children’s tale, Gerald McBoing-Boing. Gerald can’t speak words; he just goes “boing boing” instead. Watch Flight of the Conchords’ Bret Mckenzie ham it up in front of the orchestra! Tickets from Ticketek 0800 842 538 Service fee will apply $16.50 – $26.50. Children under two – free!
