International Indigenous exhibition opens at Pātaka
The winter exhibition season at Pātaka Art + Museum has begun, with the beautiful Naadohbii: To Draw Water opening earlier this month.
This exhibition, produced as a partnership between Museums Victoria, Winnipeg Art Gallery and Pātaka, explores Indigenous relationships with water, and is on display until 29 October.
It brings together contemporary Indigenous artwork from Turtle Island in Canada, Aotearoa, and many First Peoples nations of Australia, illustrating an axis of solidarity between Indigenous peoples across the globe.
Naadohbii means ‘to draw or seek water’ in the Anishinaabemowin language of the First Peoples of Canada. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition and is for sale at Pātaka.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
