“His work burrows deep into genealogical space-time and resurfaces with a kind of polymorphous empathy,” — a beautiful reflection on Shannon Te Ao’s show @thedowse by Alex Davidson for @Artforum @shansymule https://t.co/lNMfgIyzhF

[Courtney Johnston @auchmill]

Our current Shannon Te Ao show in the Artforum picks https://t.co/3ax2F9UH9O

The show runs at @thedowse until 22 July and, humbly, I reckon it's unmissable: please make time to visit if you haven't already ....

@chusmartinez “In defense of quotas ... without the opportunity to be as mediocre as a man at the same job, it is difficult to assess one’s capabilities.” — I agree, quotas can be effective tools to help us challenge assumptions of quality https://t.co/5DISD4YgN1

A great article by Matariki Williams on Shannon Te Ao’s exhibition @thedowse @shansymule https://t.co/9uQfhkEHSL

[Pantograph Punch @pantographpunch]

"It makes me think about the tired arguments around what is or isn’t Māori art, or what is or isn’t Māori knowledge, and how little weight such arguments hold when artists are creating work as rich and layered as [Shannon] Te Ao’s." @thedowse @TuskCulture https://t.co/ujHUcfwP9Z

The Side Eye @TheSpinoffTV -- love your work. Such overtly biased reporting has a lot to answer for in shaping popular opinion and reinforcing destructive stereotypes. https://t.co/jx9zvWHsjU

Two schools went into lockdown, but one dominated the coverage. Why? https://t.co/MHeuVXZnx8

[Bruce E. Phillips @bruceephillips]

@TuskCulture Important points I agree. But I also value new perspectives and skills that working in larger cities help encourage. I understand there have been studies that show a correlation between large populations and expertise. It also depends on motivation and willingness to learn.
