In a 2023 election campaign special, panel series ‘Carcass’ brings you lively banter on where culture and politics did and didn’t meet on the hustings.
Culture 101’s Mark Amery is joined by Wellington Urban Dream Brokerage arts broker and hairdresser Jason (Political Cutz) Muir, and Jane Yonge, a theatre director and Creative Catalyst at Auckland regional arts trust Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi.
We consider interviews with the National and Labour culture spokespeople on Election Murmurs, Winston Peter’s turn on stage reciting poetry and RNZ political chef Charlotte Cook putting our leaders to the test in the culinary arts in kitchen web series Grilled.
Carcass will also look at the most creative electioneering around the motu, including the headline grabbing anonymous ‘‘Party Vote Ken’ in Tauranga and the ongoing work of Sam Sharpe Studio. See below.
Meanwhile Te Taumata Toi-a-Iwi have asked people from across the motu to film themselves asked party arts spokespeople questions, which they have responded to.
