Photographer Mandy Barker collected and photographed waste debris from over 30 beaches in Hong Kong between 2012 and 2015 for Hong Kong Soup. Widely referred to as ‘Soup’, the debris - including retail, household, medical, and hazardous waste alongside agricultural, shipping, and fishing-related waste – escapes recycling or landfill and ends up in the sea, some of which is then washed up on beaches.
Barker’s manipulation of the images gives a highly aesthetic look, and the end result is a series of beautifully striking images that encourage viewers to truly pause and reflect.
Bulaubulau, Taiwanese artist Charwei Tsai’s first solo exhibition in the UK, features multi-installation, film, photography and drawings, depicting the traditions and customs of indigenous communities in Taiwan, whilst looking at the increasing impact of climate change on these areas, affected by typhoons, landslides, flooding and pollution. Charwei highlights the injustices inflicted on these communities, often caused by neglect of policymakers, and celebrates their resilience and successes in implementing sustainable economic and educational systems, as well as preserving spiritual practices and traditional knowledge.

Imagine a card with a 7 on one side and a 4 on the other side. If you were to flip the card in the air and keep a running total of the value of the card each time it lands, what's the highest whole number that cannot be made?

With numerous gigs, concerts and festivals postponed or cancelled as a result of the level 4 response, we want you to dance the lockdown away with the new Neighbourly Spotify Playlist! Make your suggestions in the comments below - recommend anything you like on there, as well as tunes you think your Neighbours will enjoy. Chuck in some taste-breakers, one-hit wonders or some good old Kiwi classics - it really doesn’t matter. So if you’re running out of ideas on things to do, why not a dance party?
Just remember: keep it PG, refrain from putting any songs in the mix that may cause offence to your Neighbours. You can find the playlist here.
Happy raving NZ!

Zane, a contestant on a game show, has a big decision to make. There are three doors in front of him and behind each door is a prize.

The prize behind one of the doors is a shiny red sports car while the prize behind each of the other two doors is a goat (yes, a goat). The game show host asks Zane to choose a door. Zane squirms nervously before finally announcing his choice.
"Zane, I am feeling generous" says the game show host, "I will open one of the two doors you didn't choose which I know to have a goat behind it." So he does, and now there are only two closed doors, the one Zane picked and one other. The host continues "I will give you a chance to change your mind and choose the other closed door instead. Or, if you prefer, you may keep your original door choice."
What should Zane do?
a) Keep his original door choice
b) Choose the other door
c) It makes no difference either way
