Toi Tu Toi Ora Contemporary Maori art by nigel Borell The story of contemporary Maori art from the 1950s to the present day, with more than 200 artworks by 110 Maori artists, this is a powerful, dynamic new book. Maori art is unique among all art movements, and to Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on centuries of indigenous knowledge and skill, it reflects a Maori world view, life in this land and the debates that continue to shape it. Based on the ground-breaking 2020-21 exhibition staged by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, and edited by the show’s curator Nigel Borell, Toi Tu Toi Ora tells the story of contemporary Maori art from the 1950s to the present day, with more than 200 works by 110 Maori artists. From carving to painting, video art to jewellery, body adornment to weaving, this is a powerful expression of the vast creativity and diversity within Maori art, linked across time and place through the Maori creation story and revealing profound connections to whakapapa, to whenua and to the spiritual world. Every work is illustrated in full colour and described in illuminating captions that are bilingual in English and te reo Maori. Always Remember Your Name a true story of Family and survival in auschwitz by andra Bucci and tatiana Bucci A haunting WWII memoir of two sisters who survived Auschwitz that picks up where Anne Frank’s Diary left off and gives voice to the children we lost. On March 28, 1944, six-year-old Tati and her four-year-old sister Andra were roused from their sleep and arrested. Along with their mother, Mira, their aunt, and cousin Sergio, they were deported to Auschwitz. Over 230,000 children were deported to the camp, where Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, performed deadly experiments on them. Only a few dozen children survived, Tati and Andra among them.Tati, Andra, and Sergio were separated from their mothers upon arrival. But Mira was determined to keep track of her girls. After being tattooed with their inmate numbers, she made them memorize her number and told them to “always remember your name.” In keeping this promise to their mother, the sisters were able to be reunited with their parents when WWII ended. An unforgettable narrative of the power of sisterhood in the most extreme circumstances, and of how a mother’s love can overcome the most impossible odds, the Bucci sisters’ memoir is a timely reminder that separating families is an inexcusable evil.

Wednesday April 6 2022 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 7 Esplanade needs re-grassing after botched repair job, residents say • By Kristie Boland RESIDENTS ARE “fed up” with the state of the grass on Beachville Esplanade. The Redcliffs Residents Association claims the area is looking “worse than ever” after a failed effort from the city council to restore the grassed area last year. “The attempt at light scarification and reseeding has failed dismally, as was rather expected . . . And with the Coastal Pathway now installing seats and picnic Pat McIntosh tables, it is embarrassing,” said RRA secretary Pat McIntosh. The RRA is asking the city council to proceed to full reinstatement of the grass, along with a review of the planting and landscaping. “They have got to completely re-grass it, nothing else is going to work,” said McIntosh. “We felt at the time the contractors weren’t doing a good job, the grass was compacted, it hadn’t been properly mowed, when they sowed it they didn’t water it properly and they let the weeds grow rampant before they actually got around to the first mowing,” she said. McIntosh said the city council did acknowledge it hadn’t been done properly. Transport operations manager Darrell Latham Stephen Wright said city council staff intend to visit the site this week to evaluate it. “Without irrigation and in dry conditions it has been difficult to establish good grass coverage. We will keep trying,” Wright said. McIntosh said the RRA want to know how the city council can promptly spend $60,000 on full replacement of the grass in Cranmer Square after the anti-mandate occupation, a considerably bigger area, and still not have the Beachville Esplanade area restored. “We used to be able to have picnics and play games on the grassed area. We will be complaining again to council as it was their fault that this turned out so badly after the sea wall repairs,” said McIntosh. Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board member Darrell Latham said he is working with the RRA on this matter and will be bringing its concerns to the next board meeting on May 13. “It’s now time for the council to look at full replacement of the affected turf areas along Beachville Esplanade. Earlier attempts at reseeding have failed miserably. The job now needs to be done properly. Half measures don’t work and the council is only throwing good money after bad if they don’t do the job properly,” Latham said. HAVE YOUR SAY: Give us your view on the esplanade.
