Te Taki o te Ua/The Sound of Rain

What if Climate Change was Purple?

Acclaimed Kāi Tahu choreographer, dancer, and video artist Louise Potiki Bryant is creating the performance ‘Te Taki o te Ua/The Sound of Rain’, in collaboration with composer Paddy Free, and Kāi Tahu singer/songwriter/taonga pūoro player Ariana Tikao. The artists will receive mentorship from  Dr Daniel Hikuroa, a scientist who specialises in mātauranga Māori, as well as earth systems and fresh water scientist, Dr Mike Joy. The central kaupapa is to bring awareness to the impacts of climate change particularly in Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island) in the takiwā (regions) of Kāi Tahu and broader awareness to the pollution of waterways. (There are a number of stages to this project that include a video work).

NZ is falling well short domestically to curb our NZ is falling well short domestically to curb our emissions.  “...emissions intensity per unit of GDP is third highest in the OECD; Emissions intensity per capita is fifth highest.  New Zealand ranks 42nd of the 43 industrialised Annex 1 countries within the United Nation’s climate treaty in terms of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions, beating only Turkey. The likes of the climate action tracker, a research group which measures climate progress in a range of countries, say New Zealand is well short of where it should be.”  https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/123912249/the-year-new-zealand-must-convince-the-world-its-climate-rhetoric-is-more-than-hot-air  PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON GETTING TO NET-ZERO BY 2050 – launching 1 Feb  The Climate Change Commission will be consulting with the public from 1 February - 14 March 2021 on a draft of its first package of advice to Government on the actions it must take to reach net-zero by 2050, and ensure a transition to a low-emissions, climate resilient and thriving Aotearoa.
