Episodes is a new graphic novel by author Alex Scott, released through Earth’s End Publishing on October 14th.

It is a delicately interwoven tale of identity, desire and coming of age even in adulthood, as well as a critique of our media-obsessed society.

Beth caught up with Alex about the creative process.

Featuring Travelling Tunes with Dr Kirsten Zemke, a guest interview with WHO SHOT SCOTT about his new single The Data, and Viewmaster with the cast of n00b.

The Secret Life of Plants is a new group exhibition at Melanie Roger Gallery. 

The exhibition borrows its title from the 1973 book, with the same name, by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird. The book documents “controversial experiments that claim to reveal unusual phenomena associated with plants, such as plant sentience and the ability of plants to communicate with other creatures, including humans.”

Exhibiting the works of Rosa Allison, Georgia Arnold, Heidi Brickell (Te Hika o Papauma, Rangitāne, Ngāi Tara, Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Apakura), Ruth Ige, Tessa Laird, Layla Rudneva-Mackay, Star Gossage (Ngāti Wai, Ngāti Ruanui), Ann Shelton and Sarah Smuts-Kennedy, the artists embrace “the secret life of plants” within their practises with works exploring ideas of mysticism, healing, growth and spirituality.  

Sofia had a kōrero with gallerist and curator, Melanie Roger, about the show, the artists, and its themes.

For Stage Direction this week, Alice Canton is in to chat with Donna Brookbanks about Green Fingered on at Basement Theatre next week. You can get tickets here!
