Astray
A meandering celebration of the indirect and unforeseen path, revealing that to err is not just human—it is everything. This book explores how, far from being an act limited to deviation from known pathways or desirable plans of action, wandering is an abundant source of meaning—a force as intimately involved in the history of our universe as it will be in the future of our planet. In ancient Australian Aboriginal cosmology, in works about the origins of democracy and surviving disasters in ancient Greece, in Eurasian steppe nomadic culture, in the lifeways of the Roma, in the movements of today’s refugees, and in our attempts to preserve spaces of untracked online freedom, wandering is how creativity and skills of adaptation are preserved in the interests of ongoing life. Astray is an enthralling look at belonging and at notions of alienation and hope.

Notes for 3 Women
This is an open text with porous borders, and can be approached/entered at any point. While it can be read from beginning to end, it also welcomes non-linear engagement in both a temporal and textural sense. The reader may wish to read it backwards, in parts; to skim their eyes quickly over the words, perhaps not finish it at all. Robert Altman's dreamlike 1977 film 3 Women serves as a starting point and clue for this journey. The writer is at one corner of a triangulated relationship with artists/writers/filmmakers Moyra (Davey) and Chantal (Akerman), who are referred to by their first names. This relationship is mirrored by the writer's relationship to her mother and sister. The text is pa...
Michael Lett Documents
"Documents is a series of texts that accompanies the exhibition programme at Michael Lett, a contemporary art gallery in Tāmaki Makarau Auckland. The impetus behind the texts, commissioned by the gallery, was to create broader discourse around artworks and exhibitions, to produce something more extended and substantial than a press-release sent out in advance, or an accompanying room-sheet"--Page 14.

Fuck Me 3
FUCK ME is an ongoing project exploring the relationship between sex and capitalism through the mediums of writing and performance. FUCK ME aspires to be a mutable, independent and inclusive platform that allows for a self-initiated politicising of our bodies and identities. As the title suggests, FUCK ME is both an exclamation and an invitation, an avenue for us to express our discontent and initiate our collective hopes and desires. This iteration of FUCK ME begins from an interrogation of ideas pertaining to excess and marks an expansion of the project’s preliminary focus upon orality, embracing film and print.

Uneven Bodies (reader)
"Uneven Bodies (Reader) is a comprehensive collection of writing produced as an outcome of a symposium of the same name held in Aotearoa New Zealand in early 2020 that addresses the politics of collections today and the complex terrain of power in which this conversation sits.The collection places specific emphasis on Indigenous positions, linking this into the so-called international paradigm. Topics covered include collecting contemporary both inside and outside the institution, repatriation, deaccession, and Indigenous methodology in collection work. With keynote contributions from Prof Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Gabi Ngcobo, Dr. Clémentine Deliss, and Wanda Nanibush and nine other positions, the readers offers a template for how we can imagine collecting in the future; full of mutated spaces we don’t yet know how to move in, full of powerful languages we still need to learn how to speak, together."--Publisher.
