Explore the taonga (treasures) of the Auckland Art Gallery with two art experts who have a background in art history and cultural history and who are themselves practitioners. The guided tours are interactive: A brief introduction into or contextualisation of the object d’art is followed by questions and answers and discussion. Using the two major shows ‘Myths of Masculinity’ and ‘Romancing the collection’ as a basis, we will have a look at portrait and landscape paintings, still lives and installations, myth making in and through art, social, political and cultural discourses in light of historical and modern art making.

National would pull immigration levers to get the country moving, she told the crowd.

Her keynote charted the orthodoxy of National Party policy: tax relief, ensuring innovation is fostered and that “discipline” could be restored to Government spending – albeit with topical issues of climate change, truancy and infrastructure investment front and centre.

The Reserve Bank also featured in her kōrero, and on Friday it'll be governor Adrian Orr's turn to speak.

Whatever hemisphere you find yourself in, the season is turning yet again. From winter to spring; summer to autumn. It’s a beautiful thing!
It’s a time of change for nature. It’s also a time of change for our diets. A core part of eating mindfully and well is to choose foods that are in-season.
Seasonal eating brings us back to the natural order of things. It’s when our foods are at their peak in nutrition and flavour. The more we consume seasonally, the more our retailers will offer a more seasonally-adjusted array.
