EarthDiverse: "The Interplay Between Art & Popular Culture"
Check out one of EarthDiverse's newest courses, ART205: ”The Interplay Between Art & Popular Culture,” a 3-week course delivered over three consecutive live or Zoom sessions, beginning Wed 18 Oct, 11am-1pm (NZ time) or Tuesday 17 Oct 3:00pm (US Pacific) or 6pm (US Eastern).
In the modern age there has always been a fruitful interchange between the visual arts and popular culture. And it flowed both ways. Part of the joy of things is recognizing the influences and spotting the links. This course looks at over 40 examples where this has happened, involving everything from the world of cartoons, wallpaper design, video production and back.
Check out this, and all of our other humanities and language courses on offer this Term at earthdiverse.org.nz...

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
