Chasing the Dragon: Hubris, the folly of man.

Chasing the Dragon: Hubris, the folly of man.

By Peter Wallace*
Amateur theatre satisfies a niche that professional theatre cannot occupy. Raw deliveries and modest budgets emphasise the discrepancy between actor and character, who present more one and the same in professional performances. Preventing that abstraction succeeds in communicating the personality of a production, particularly the risks and anxieties that high-end stage shows distract from.

Unstable Ground: Migrant Producers, Selling, and Discrimination in Auckland 1890-1920s

by Emily O’Callaghan*
Beginning a narrative part way through makes for a confusing story. Yet, recollections of Auckland’s horticultural histories often do exactly that.

Auckland’s Women Artists: 1928-1940

by Katryn Baker*
The positionality of women artists in the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland art scene from just over a century ago is complex. By the close of the 1920s, women were certainly not excluded from published literature nor from exhibition spaces. However, the trend of the twentieth century tended toward situating men such as John Weeks or Colin McCahon, to be the drivers of art history in Auckland, often at the expense of marginalising the influence of women artists.
