Penguins to poetry – and an insight into contemporary jewellery!
Penguin – detail from cover of book by Stephen Martin, published by Reaction Books
Tune in to a fascinating and diverse program with Maisy Stapleton this Arts Thursday 7th November. First up, a look at the so-called comic characters of the Antarctic and inspiration for many brands – the penguins – with Antarctic Historian and commentator Steve Martin. This interview is the second in the series Antarctica – its icons and stories.
Moving from Penguin suits to contemporary jewellery design we’ll be joined by Nina Cueva, one of the founders with
COTA, Courtesy of the Artist, in The Strand Arcade
her husband Caesar, of COTA, Courtesy of the Artist – a bold venture to support contemporary jewellers and artists and to push the boundaries of personal adornment. The interview with Nina is also part of a series on contemporary design.
Poet Jakob Ziguras
The final segment will focus on poetry.
Pitt Street Poetry is a new poetry imprint, established to both revive currently unavailable works and to showcase the latest offerings from Australian poets. This Thursday, Jakob Ziguras talks about his recently published book, Chains of Snow, and reads several of his poems.
And music? There will be the usual music with a (heart) beat, themed to relate to the interviews.
Tune in this Arts Thursday 10:30 am to noon, to Maisy Stapleton and her guests.
