Episode notes

In this episode, Sheree talks to the creator of maybe one of the most well known artworks in Aotearoa - the redacted English version of the treaty of Waitangi, which used to hang in Te Papa.

Te Wehi Ratana kōreos about his work as part of Te Waka Hourua, how he became a "concerned person", his experience in jail following the action at Te Papa, and his hopes for a post-colonial and post-capitalist Aotearoa.
