| Sugar Loafing Arts Cast 28-09-2019 Roger Morris and the Expansive Universe | "This is our one shot. This is it. We’re alive, and struggling to figure out a world around us that’s huge, and complex.”
Deep in the Taranaki countryside, Roger Morris is making prints and paintings addressing some of the most controversial issues of our time -- The Great Conspiracies. But it's not turtles all the way down, we also talk about the complex reputation of drugs and alcohol in the creative process, and the value of boredom.
Includes music by Joni Mitchell, Boards of Canada, Red Snapper, Toad the Wet Sprocket and Neutral Milk Hotel. | 01/10/2019 04:15 PM | 1:0:8 | Download |

| Sugar Loafing Arts Cast 08-09-2019 Stratford's Best Kept Secret | "For peace of mind I think it's really, really important for people to find something (creative) to do, and to give themselves permission to do it."
Sue Hogan found making crafts lifted her spirits when job-hunting left her feeling frustrated and depressed. She started Verdigris Creative Studio as a gallery and workshop space in Whakaahurangi / Stratford to share her skills, and help others make time for themselves. | 10/09/2019 03:30 PM | 0:59:33 | Download |

| Sugar Loafing Arts Cast 24-08-2019 Ans Westra And Adrienne Jansen On Documenting Muslim New Zealanders | Ans Westra in conversation with writer Adrienne Jansen, and Maya Al-Fayyad -- representing the Taranaki Muslim community. They talk about the people in the photographs, how 15 March has changed New Zealand, and how Islamophobia spreads.
𝐀𝐧𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚 grew up in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands. It was against this backdrop of forced monoculturalism she began to yearn to know more about other cultures.
Ultimately, she would come to New Zealand and take world-famous photographs in Māori communities, and those that form the exhibition now on at Percy Thomson Gallery in Whakaahurangi (Stratford) -- The Crescent Moon: The Asian Face of Islam in New Zealand. | 27/08/2019 02:00 PM | 0:57:11 | Download |
