Scultpure on the Shore in Tamaki Makaurau winds up this weekend. The biennial exhibition has been showcasing more than 120 artworks by both established and emerging artists. Located at the clifftop park of Operetu Fort Takapuna in Devonport, the three-dimensional pieces come with sweeping views of the Hauraki Gulf. From multi-metre high sculptures, colourful works to light and sound installations - it's now in its 29th year. Works at the exhibition are for sale and proceeds from the event go to Women's Refuge New Zealand - supporting women and children fleeing domestic violence. One of the artists exhibiting is Taranaki-based artist Milarky whose sculpture "Lost in Phone" captures the "posture of his generation". He speaks to Culture 101 about his recurring spacesuit protagonist and setting up his New Plymouth studio and gallery.

Poet Tusiata Avia on "the most challenging book I've written"
A year ago, on Culture 101 we played a recording of Tusiata Avia reading a commissioned poem for the 2024 Arts Foundation's Laureate Awards. It was entitled 'I'm writing you a poem about art'. In it, Avia wrote, "I hope writing poetry doesn't get me into trouble…. again."
