Te Taki o te Ua/The Sound of Rain

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain

Kāi Tahu choreographer, video artist Louise Potiki Bryant with kaiwaiata, taoka puoro player Ariana Tikao & composer Paddy Free. 

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain is an inspiring video installation and performance weaving dance, waiata, taoka puoro, animation and video in a work addressing the impacts of climate change in the takiwā of Kāi Tahu, Te Waipounamu.

The video exhibition is made up of three moving image works: Waikohu / Mist is an expression of the water cycle in balance and honours the emergence of freshwater as a consequence of the separation of Rakinui and Papatūānuku; Pakapaka / Drought addresses the projected increased frequency and intensity of drought in some takiwā; Āwhā / Storm tackles the projected increase in intensity and frequency of storms and flooding as a consequence of climate change.

The artists received mentorship from Dr Daniel Hikuroa, a scientist who specialises in mātauranga Māori, as well as earth systems and fresh water scientist, Dr Mike Joy (both are part of What if Climate Change was Purple?) in the early stage of development.

Te Taki o te Ua / The Sound of Rain performance was made with the support of What if Climate Change was Purple?

Have your say on the Government’s ‘TRANSFORMIN Have your say on the Government’s ‘TRANSFORMING RECYCLING’ proposals!
Te kimi whakaaro mō te panoni i te hangarua! 
Closes 22 May
Too much rubbish is ending up in landfills and our environment adding to climate change, harming our waterways and oceans, and losing valuable resources and business opportunities.
There are 3 proposals:
1. Intro a beverage container return scheme (CRS) by 2025 (when you buy a drink you pay a deposit that you get back when you return the empty container. This is expected to lift container return rates to 85% or more. In a CRS, beverage producers pay the costs of collecting, transporting and processing the containers – part of 'product stewardship').
2. Standardise kerbside recycling collections across Aotearoa NZ  and start collecting food scraps (by 2030 at the latest).
3. Require all businesses to separate their food scraps from their general waste (by 2030 at the latest).
MAKE A SUBMISSION 📝
Head to the @environmentgovtnz website - make a quick submission on any or all of the proposals or a detailed submission. 
HELPFUL RESOURCES 💥
Check out handy resources prepared by zero waste experts to help see where the thinking is at and maybe take some ideas for your submission.  Here’s a couple of examples, amongst others:

We only recycle and compost about 1/3rd of the materials we place out on the kerbside and 2/3rds go to landfills. This is reversed in high-performing countries where they recycle 2/3rds and landfill only 1/3rd. This is a big opportunity to do better!
