Skinsuit

Content warning: This episode of TUKUA contains discussions of nudity and sexual practices and may not be suitable for everyone. / Skinsuit is an artistic expression of pole dance, striptease, and ritual. Eight local queer sex workers and others will perform running over two acts with each dancer performing in both, also featuring a Shibari suspension room. TUKUA goes along to explore the event. TUKUA is 75-year-old arts activist and author, Ngāhuia Te Awekōtuku, Gen Z sculptor Brett Graham, and 24-year-old standup comedian, Kura Turuwhenua. We take you to the event, interview the creatives involved and then discuss it back in the RNZ studio. Our focus is on Māori and Pasifika artists but no-one is safe from the TUKUA lens.
