Hear the inside story of how the Topp Twins exhibition came to be.
Activism, politics, humour, and self-created careers all fed into the rich tapestry of The Topp Twins and how their stories are told through this exhibition.
Sian Torrington, an artist, curated it for Te Manawa. She will speak on the particular perspective she brought to it, as an artist, and queer person.
About the speaker
Sian Torrington makes art, poetry, writing and performance. She has worked extensively in community arts, and currently works independently facilitating creative practice through workshops and seminars.
Her work investigates the creative process itself, through drawing, installation and sculpture, across abstraction and figurative work.
In her curating work, this focus on process involves looking for the stories and how they have been lived and created, and trying to reflect this authentically.

Unique resource
The Community Law Manual is a unique resource that is:
free
written in accessible language, and
targeted at those least likely to have access to legal services.
Conversation with past and present editors
Together with past and present editors, we will look at the evolution of the Community Law Manual from its early days as a simple ring-bound legal reference, to a comprehensive book over 1000-pages long that is updated and improved.
It is an opportunity to celebrate The Manual, to chart a course into the future, and to discuss the contribution of grassroots publishing to social justice.

We've got a social media update for pet rabbit owners:
Following the discovery of a new strain of calicivirus on a Marlborough farm in May, MPI has now sourced vaccine doses to protect pet rabbits. The initial order of 2000 doses for the RHDV2 strain have now been distributed to veterinarians who ordered it. Ongoing supplies are also secured and available to vets via AsureQuality. Rabbit owners who would like to vaccinate their rabbits will need to book an appointment with their veterinarian. While MPI will cover the cost of these first 2000 vaccine doses, rabbit owners will need to cover any additional costs, such as the veterinarian's consultation fee.
There are also a number of practical steps people can take to minimise the risk to their pets. If you own rabbits, you should keep them separate from wild rabbits, wash hands between handling rabbits and control insects around pet rabbits as they can spread the virus between rabbits.
When MPI confirmed the new strain of the rabbit calicivirus, we suspected a wider distribution since it was a wild rabbit. Two further cases of RHDV2 have since been confirmed, both involving wild rabbits in the Bay of Plenty. These cases were picked up as part of monitoring the effectiveness of the controlled calicivirus K5 release that was undertaken earlier in the year.
We still don’t know how widespread this strain is in New Zealand, but because the virus can spread rapidly, there is a chance it is already prevalent in the wild.
The virus affects rabbits and the European hare. It has no impact on human health or other animals.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
