Suzanne Tamaki offers local perspectives on issues raised by the Black Lives Matter movement in Taonga Talkback Television. Iconic visual objects are manipulated to give them voices and facial expressions, transforming them into self-aware vehicles for bitingly tongue-in-cheek reflections on political agency and cultural sovereignty, education and erasure, appropriation and appreciation.
