Hear the inside story of the Topp Twins exhibition
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.

Hello neighbours!
I am available for babysitting.
Some of you may know me as the wandmaker, I'm Sabina, I'm 27, I have a very fluffy cat and I'm great with kids. I have recently completed a CPR training event and I also know pet CPR so I've got that going for me. I've looked after children from 1 week old and would be happy to provide references. I tend to be available quite late notice and I live in Newtown and have a little scooter, so can travel to nearby areas. I'm also happy to travel a little further afield if you're able to provide transport or cover uber costs.
I charge $17.50ph and am currently available anytime except 8-13th July. If you need a babysitter, whether a late notice one-off or something more regular, please let me know ☺

What's the Community Law Manual?
If you’ve ever needed quick, free legal information, chances are you’ve read The Community Law Manual. The panel discussion will explore the role of The Community Law Manual as a resource for social justice and empowering the most vulnerable in society to know their rights within the law. Over a million people access The Manual online every year. Service providers all around the country rely on it as the most trusted legal resource of its kind. But what if it didn't exist?

Free event
Thursday, 5 July, 2018
5:30pm to 6:30pm
Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon

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.



About the speakers
Krissi Smith, Publishing Director — Krissi is the current Publishing Director at Community Law with over ten years’ experience in publishing and editing. Krissi has a background in Te Reo Māori, social justice and activism and has been with Community Law three years.

Nadine Hura, Communications Advisor — Nadine is a researcher and writer of Ngāti Hine, Ngāpuhi and Pākehā whakapa. She is the newly appointed Communications Advisor at Community Law.
