Exhibition “TRUE LOVE: A Tribute to Grant Lingard”
2021-04-29 10:00 - 2021-05-28 16:00 (Pacific/Auckland) | Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury, Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury
Thu 29th April – Friday 28th May – 10:00am to 4:00pm – Ilam Campus Gallery, School of Fine Arts Building 2, University of Canterbury
⠀
Grant Lingard was many things: from a West Coast mining family, he was a snappy dresser, an avid collector of everything from action-toy figurines to records, a Punk Disco dancer, a storyteller, an instigator of the Christchurch Artists’ Collective, companion to his black cat Black Cat, a graduate of the School of Fine Arts programme, and, of course, a gay man at a moment when attitudes towards homosexuality, and the law, were changing.⠀
⠀
If he has the distinction of being ‘…considered by many to be New Zealand’s leading gay visual artist’[1], he was also a victim of the tragedy that struck the gay community in the 1980s: AIDS. With his death Aotearoa New Zealand lost an artist and art activist of significance too soon, his legacy left barely revealed. Perhaps this is a failure to acknowledge “queer art heroes”, or because the 1980s are easy to forget, or because his work had ephemeral, feral qualities that make its collection and preservation difficult.⠀
⠀
While TRUE LOVE cannot fill the void, 25 years later, we hope to contribute to an ongoing discussion about this wonderful, queer person. It is our (im)provisional response to Grant, his memory, his artwork.⠀
⠀
Grant’s art alongside that from Bronwyn Takle, Diane Miller, Gary Freemantle, Gina Ferguson, Graham McFelin, Grant Takle, Jeremiah Boniface, Jessica Douglas, Julian Holcroft, Michael Armstrong, Paul Dew, Paul Johns, Paul Rayner, Richard Reddaway, Ruth Watson, Sara Ayad, Sandra Bushby, Seraphine Pick, Simon Morris, Teri Johnson, Terry Urbahn and Trevor Fry. Catalogue essays by David Herkt and Peter Derksen.

MONO Presents: Dr. Reknaw with Horizone & Friends
2021-04-29 20:00 - 2021-04-30 01:00 | Ngaio Marsh Theatre – Haere-roa, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
Born and raised in Aotearoa New Zealand these children of the sun advocate for Papatuanuku (Mother Earth), plant medicine, social/environmental justice, indigenous rights and honoring Tikanga Maori.
Founded by sisters Julia (lead vocals) and Sophie Cooper (vocals/bass), Dr. Reknaw has grown into an empowering groove-machine. The band is an eight piece formation that
includes driving rhythms, uplifting harmonies and enchanting horns.
A year after the release of their first EP ‘Earthly Delights’, Dr. Reknaw are thrilled to be celebrating their debut studio album with a nation wide tour.
‘REKTIFIED’ is a 9 track journey, through soul, roots, hip-hop and psychedelic sounds, seamlessly woven together over some of the most grooving rhythms. The two sisters etherial vocals share messages of love and wisdom, while the other 6 doctors have decorated this sonic masterpiece with mouthwatering colours and the most uplifting sounds. This incredible album was recorded at the surgery studios, and produced by Toby Lloyd ( Tiny Triumph Productions).
Ready to create waves of good vibrations around Aotearoa, Dr. Reknaw are coming to a town near you this April, bringing the live set of your dreams.
——————————————————————————
Horizone is one of New Zealand’s freshest new funky dub bands which was born out of the necessity for a post-earthquake Christchurch music scene. Josh Burke (Vocals) and Matty Coleman (Bass) were working on an acoustic music project when they decided to expand their acoustic duo to a full 5 piece band, which set the stage for Tyler Robbins (Drums), Mattisse Kennedy (Guitar) and Saba Charles (Keyboards) to join the band to form what is now known as Horizone
The sound of Horizone is broad and is constantly overflowing into new musical genres. “Shine”(2019) has a chill reggae vibe and is inspired by NZ legends, The Black Seeds and Fat Freedy’s Drop. Other songs like “Gravity” (2018) have influences that come from the early days of Salmonella Dub.
​In this modern age of an ever-changing music industry, Horizone pride themselves on being an independent entity with a DIY attitude which has propelled them to be able to write, record, produce, master, film, tour, host events, and sell merchandise independently.

HARPER FINN + LA WOMEN
LIVE AT MONO NIGHTS | THURSDAY 6 MAY

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED
FREE ENTRY WITH UC STUDENT ID
——————————————————————————–
Two of New Zealand’s hottest new acts, Harper Finn and LA Women, are joining forces and hitting the road, playing shows in Christchurch, Dunedin, Wellington and Auckland this May.
HARPER FINN is no stranger to the NZ live music scene, starting out as the keyboard player for a sprawling 8-piece hip-hop group, appearing at some of the hottest R18 venues while still underage. Following his time working nights at a local venue in downtown Auckland, and after honing his song-writing skills, Finn headed out on his own with singles ‘Conversations (With The Moon)’, and ‘Norway’, before exploding onto radio airwaves with the massive summer hit ‘Dance Away These Days’. With only a few Auckland club shows (sold out) and an appearance at Rhythm and Vines under his belt, this tour will be the first chance for South Islander’s to hear Harper Finn’s infectious pop hits live.
LA Women spent their summer hitting the beach hotspots, playing to thousands of festival-goers at Rhythm and Vines, First We Eat and Soundsplash Festivals. Now, as the nights cool, they are ready to bring their live show to some of NZ’s best live music venues. LA Women have released some of the best indie-pop tunes to come out of New Zealand in the past few years, with songs like ‘Hurricane Love’, ‘Count It Up’ and ‘Don’t Call Me Back’, and they are set to do it again with their new EP released on April 23.

Two Raw Sisters x UCSA Workshop
2021-05-12 15:30 - 17:30 | Tī Kōuka, Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Road, Christchurch, 8041, New Zealand
All eaters welcome: Join Two Raw Sisters for a free workshop demonstrating delicious and healthy student meals you can make at home.

Known for their fun and inspiring style, sisters Margo and Rosa are best-selling authors and incredible cooks with a passion for plant-based eating.

Their approach is all about freedom: whether you’re vegan, flexitarian, or a huge meat-eater, they advocate starting your cooking with plants made in an exciting way, and then adding your protein later. This philosophy started with their own experiences of chronic health problems, including endometriosis, chronic fatigue, and unhealthy relationships with food and exercise – something they’ll touch on as they prepare dishes.

The afternoon workshop will start with a session on nutrition hosted by the Flourish Doctors, GPs Victoria and Jane. The Sisters will then take us through a demo of three budget-friendly student meals. Afterwards, there’ll be a chance to stick around for a chat and, if you’re extra keen, Two Raw Sisters will be selling and signing copies of their cookbooks.

Learn how to use tī kōuka / cabbage tree leaves to make a strong and beautiful twine. Rekindle’s most popular workshop, this technique for making string and rope is simple and can be used with many different materials.
Tī kōuka cabbage tree leaves are such an abundant and multi-purpose material that we can find all around us. If you have access to fallen/brown cabbage tree leaves, please feel free to bring a big bunch along with you, which have been soaked overnight or longer.
