In this episode of The Third Space, we sit down with Venice — a musician whose new album Moon Landing marks a major moment in her creative journey. We talk about individuality, belonging, and how she weaves together Western and Eastern influences to tell her story through music.

Venice opens up about the inspiration behind her songs, including her powerful track Home Country, and shares her experiences confronting anti-Asian racism. We explore what authenticity means to her as an artist, how she’s grown creatively, and her hopes for stronger Asian representation in the music industry.

It’s a conversation about community, courage, and staying true to yourself — and a reminder of the power we have when we uplift each other to create a more diverse and inclusive arts landscape in Aotearoa.
