Damien Levi is your local loser chatting to new friends, old friends and maybe an enemy or two about arts and culture in Aotearoa and beyond.
After a little break for the Auckland Writers Festival, Damien Levi is back to being a loser, and he’s invited painter Tony Guo to chat.
Using Tony’s artistic practice as a jumping off point, this kōrero darts around the cultural realms, from Jorges Luis Borges and Lady Gaga, to Hanya Yanagihara, Brokeback Mountain, Michelle Rahurahu and Xin Ji’s Body Story.
As podcasting is an audio medium, you may want to check out Tony’s website or Instagram to see some of his paintings. If you’re rich and interested in buying, contact Season Aotearoa.
