I’M JUST OLDER DARLING

Launched and ready for listening

A project we’ve been awaiting with much anticipation has now launched and is ready for your listening!   I’M JUST OLDER DARLING, a podcast series featuring the elders of our community. 

The role of this project is to provide the Same Same But Black audience, friends and members of the LGBQTTIA and People Of Colour Community (P.O.C), of Henderson-Massey with a positive image of themselves in a supportive and safe environment. 

Each podcast interview captures a snapshot on how our community looks from the interviewees’ point of view and provides a platform to hear their voices and stories.

We are very grateful to Michelle Mascoll for coming up with this project idea during our March Lockdown and to those that were interviewed – it couldn’t be more vital than at a time when we all need more connection and understanding among each other.  I’M JUST OLDER DARLING is now available for your listening and ‘sharing’ at: www.samesamebutblack.co.nz.

Make a stand for the arts!

Have your say on Auckland Council’s Emergency Budget

Until 19 June, Aucklanders are being offered the chance to provide feedback on the Auckland Council Emergency Budget 2020/2021. In Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland Council adopts its Emergency Budget for the current financial year. It has direct ramifications on how arts and culture will be presented, performed and experienced.

Cuts to the arts include; 

  • Fewer and smaller events, including regional events and festivals such as Matariki Festival, Waitangi Ki Manukau, Movies in Parks, Music in Parks, Heritage Festival
  • Council facilities reducing opening hours
  • Scaled back programmes in community centres, arts facilities like galleries and libraries and scaled back regional arts and culture programmes 
  • Fewer arts, culture and events grants due to a reduction in activity, including reduced contestable grants
  • Public art spending would be reduced by 70 per cent.

You can see all the info about potential cuts to ‘The Arts’ at this article by The Big Idea – Make a Stand for the arts

Even with the knowledge that there would have to be impacted in these tough times, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. HOWEVER, There is still a window of opportunity for those who live in the region to be heard. 

Support the arts and make your opinions known before the 19th June.
