Let's Be Together Series

Get ready for the next episode going live 6pm Thursday 14 May! In preparation to the viewing, Christian Lamont and I brewed up this playlist for your listening pleasure. Prepare to be loud...

In the meantime, please enjoy last week's episode!

"Sakura Shibata and I juggle our experiences and thoughts on the idea of loneliness as we tentatively poke at our tendencies to quietly back into a corner. We wonder what it is to have grown up with the fuzziness of loneliness, how it affected us and our artistic practices, and find consolation in the limbo of it. Throughout the video are works from our time at university but littered in between are also bits and pieces we’ve collected during the process of making this project come to life. By giving ourselves prompts based around loneliness, we explored different ways of approaching making.

We hope you enjoy this quiet time with us!"

*All funds raised during this project will be donated to the local charity, The Christchurch Aunties. If you are based in Ōtautahi and would like to help further, please check out their website or Facebook page to help with any practical donations they need during this time.*

A big thank you to everyone who has supported this project and donated! I am so thankful for all the love and I hope everyone has been enjoying the content. This next episode is once again something a little different from the last, I hope I will see you here at 6pm Thursday 21 May.

Feel free to rewatch and share the last two episodes!

"Christian Lamont and I enter into a chaotic discussion about our times at art school, our strange memories of collaboration, and look deeper into our incessant desire for auditory engagement. We invite viewers to queue up this curated playlist we have created together and come watch us aimlessly paint our faces as we contemplate our futures of cyborg life.

We hope you enjoy this unhinged energy with us!"

We are nearing the streaming of the final episode and I'd like to thank everyone again for taking the time to support this little project. Stay safe and I hope to see you here this Thursday at 6pm again.

Feel free to rewatch and share the previous episodes!

"Hannah Phillips and I delve into our complicated relationship with hope and how it manifests in our daily lives as well as within our work. It seems that we need hope now more than ever due to COVID-19 and we are surprised and grateful for the way it appears. We bond over our newfound love for growing things, cooking things and encourage one another to continue as best we can. We want to fight for the rights of our nurses, our carers, our essential workers, the people of Aotearoa and we understand that it’s a struggle that will continue long after we are gone. But we can have our pipe dreams, we can speculate, and we can have hope in the small things.

We hope you enjoy this bittersweet time with us!
