If you happen to be wandering around the Wellington waterfront today, you will probably notice something interesting in the Whairepo Lagoon: a BIG octopus. The creature is one of six installations by Auckland-based video artist Lisa Reihana, which she has created for the Aotearoa New Zealand Festival of the Arts. The series - known as Kura Moana, and on display until Sunday, March 20 - form a kind of treasure hunt across the waterfront, which kids and their parents can take in over a half-hour. In addition to the blow-up octopus, there's a couple of video installations and a statue of the Polynesian explorer Kupe.  Festival director ngā toi Māori Mere Boynton spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Lisa Reihana is one of New Zealand’s most important artists. Her work, In Pursuit of Venus [infected] became one of the highlights of the 2017 Venice Biennale. It is a 26 metre long animated wallpaper that was many years in the making - a reinterpretation of a 200-year-old panoramic wallpaper created by Joseph Dufour that painted an exotic portrait of the life of Pacific people as described by Captain Cook. In this story - recorded back in 2017 - Lisa is working on a short 3D film titled Nomads of the Sea which again looks at the meeting of two cultures, featuring an epic encounter between two female warriors. Presenter Tim Marlow joins Lisa Reihana in her New Zealand studio to talk about art, film and creativity.

They'd been expecting to finally have a break at home in April, but that's now extended: Lisa says despite all the hard work involved, they're philosophical about their shows and other future opportunities being impacted by the pandemic to some degree.
