Podcasts about Aotearoa

Bill Hammond: Serenading Imagined Worlds is a survey exhibition currently on view at Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery.  Hammond (b. 1947) was a Lyttleton-based artist with a career spanning over four decades, and is widely recognised as one of the most influential and original painters in Aotearoa.  Although best known for his bird-human hybrid paintings, which largely defined his practice from the 1990s onwards, Serenading Imagined Worlds surveys and traces the preceding chapters of his practice, inviting the viewer to engage with a panoramic sweep of his career. From his handcrafted wooden works, prints, to his edgier paintings of the 1980s exploring popular culture, music, and politics, and the otherworldliness of his Auckland Islands inspired works, the show reveals the essence of who Hammond was – an artist who experimented, challenged, and was attuned to the possibility of reinvention.  Sof had a kōrero with AD Schierning about Hammond and Serenading Imagined Worlds.

Prendi parte alla nostra Membership per supportare il nostro progetto Missione Cultura e diventare mecenate di Geopop: https://geopop.it/ngCbN I Maori, popolo indigeno della Nuova Zelanda di origine polinesiana, sono conosciuti per la tradizionale danza della haka, i tatuaggi e - più recentemente - per il film Oceania. Ma chi sono esattamente? Non sappiamo con precisione come sia nata la comunità maori, ma probabilmente si è trattato di un popolo della Polinesia arrivato intorno al 1300 in Nuova Zelanda (chiamata in lingua maori “Aotearoa”, cioè “grande nuvola bianca”). Ma come vivono oggi? Cos'è la haka? E qual è la loro religione? In questo nuovo video della serie “Antichi Popoli” vedremo chi sono i Maori, com'è la loro cultura e come vivono oggi.

DIALOGUES: Short Cuts to First Features" is a Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Industry program featuring conversations with emerging directors who transitioned from making acclaimed short films (Short Cuts alumni) to directing their debut features, sharing insights on script development, collaboration, and overcoming challenges to build their filmmaking careers. It's a key part of the TIFF Industry Conference, focusing on practical advice and inspiration for filmmakers aiming to make that crucial jump to feature-length projects.  I had the grand pleasure to join alumni directors of TIFF Short Cuts and Industry Talent, Lloyd Lee Choi (Lucky Lu), Sasha Leigh Henry (Dinner with Friends), Taratoa Stappard (Mārama), and Eva Thomas (Nika & Madison), as they discuss their journeys from making short films to developing and directing their first features.

The pivotal year of 1870 brought down the curtain on the redcoat garrison world at both the metropolitan and colonial ends of the empire . . . In fewer than forty years, less than a lifetime, Aotearoa had gone from being a Māori world in which rangatira dominated, to a colony in which the settler state was in control of the economy, politics and people's social destiny. Garrison World: Redcoat Soldiers in New Zealand and across the British Empire (Bridget Williams Books, 2025) by Professor Charlotte Macdonald explores the lives of soldiers, sailors and their families stationed in Aotearoa New Zealand and across the British empire in the nineteenth century. Spanning the decades from 1840 to 1870, this major new history from Charlotte Macdonald places the New Zealand Wars within the wider framework of imperial power. It shows how conflict and resistance throughout the empire, from rebellion in India to the Morant Bay uprising in Jamaica, were connected to the colonial project in New Zealand. At the centre of this history are the thousands who served in the British military – from rank-and-file soldiers and bluejackets drawn from working-class Britain and Ireland, to officers from elite backgrounds who purchased their commissions. Their presence in New Zealand was vital to the imposition of imperial control, both during times of war and in the intervening years when the garrison underpinned a fragile settler economy and society. Through rich archival detail and personal accounts, Garrison World traces the structures, experiences and legacies of military occupation. Acknowledging the impact on Māori communities and whenua, the book offers a critical and unflinching account of how imperial authority was imposed – and often violently asserted. This is a compelling and significant contribution to understanding the reordering of power that shaped Aotearoa in the nineteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
