Te Papa's Courtney Johnston on Vivienne Westwood, podcasts and Stevie Wonder

from Culture 101

Courtney Johnston has been the chief executive of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa now for five years, joining Maori co-leader Arapata Hakiwai at the helm. Johnston's career as a director, curator and writer has been dedicated to our culture, and how we represent and access it. Prior to Te Papa she was the director of the Dowse Art Museum for eight years, worked at the National Library of New Zealand and in roles with various public galleries. Courtney will also be a familiar voice to long-term listeners as a former culture correspondent with RNZ's Nine to Noon. Who better then to join Culture 101 to share their current 'Fast Favourites'. We started by considering Te Papa's latest international exhibition: Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery, designed and curated by the House of Vivienne Westwood. It is on at Te Papa until 27 April.
