Painting Tāmaki Makaurau green: the community gardens redefining third spaces
Every new year, almost everyone commits to picking up a new hobby or getting out and meeting new people. But achieving these goals in the city is easier said than done. Options can often be limited to pricy workshops, and for someone trying their hand at something for the first time, the added costs can detract from what should be an enjoyable experience.
Sons of Vao
Currently playing at the ASB Waterfront Theatre, Sons of Vao by Vela Manusaute and directed by Anapela Polata’viao. The play centres around Vao, played by Beulah Kaole, a Samoan father raising his three sons with his Niuean wife on Niue. The family live in a simple home and lead an atypical village life. His young boys take solace in the dreaminess of American films which portray a very different existence to theirs.
