Hear from A World of Doubt artist Luke Shaw in conversation with Piupiu Maya Turei (Director) at Blue Oyster on Saturday 14 March.

Luke is an Ōtautahi-based artist, designer, and musician interested in the politics of communication and instances of listening and (mis)hearing. Luke and Piupiu will chat about his practice and his works on show at Blue Oyster, which call out to the now-decommissioned Taiaroa Fog Horn.

Possible topics: sound, sonic landscapes, tohu, listening, boundaries of land and sea, navigating in uncertain times.
