The Future is Indigenous - The tyranny of distance no longer keep indigenous artists apart - korero and collaboration are more commonplace and indigenous led platforms are establishing themselves around the globe. "Indigenous" is now a word used more widely in the mainstream and we are being courted by the establishment to join them. But what does this mean for established artists?

Join a discussion with Mayor Justin Lester on the issues facing artists who are living and working in Wellington.

Here's a link to the podcast recorded on the day, featuring Mayor Justin Lester and Sophie Jerram.
