Centuri Chan - Episode 26

Yeah, learning through doing.

And also like you're currently wearing a jumper that says more dewy, less hooey.

Yeah.

Which really encapsulates who you are and the vibrancy of that as well as a visual and also hands-on creative experience.

I'm always in awe of, you know, the, not just the many hats, but also the many formats of things that you're involved in.

I remember the first time, you know, I met you, you were kind of involved in the transitional architecture scene and then somehow, you know, discovered that you love Lego and creating with Lego.

And there was also a Whole House Reuse project run by Red Kindle where you've, you know, created resourcefully a beautiful art piece from some of the what we generally call, you know, building waste into this, you know, fantastically visually impactful piece.

piece of work.

And yeah, so it's been a lovely journey seeing how you show up in the community and also being able to kind of reshape how you, I guess, involve people as well in those processes.

Thank you.

Yeah, I think it's nice to be reminded of all the projects because you sort of look back and think, oh, yeah, you know, that's a little thing that I did in the past.

But it is nice to have that reminder that those things are all things that have shaped the path that I've been on.

And I suppose it's nice to also remember promote the fact that, yeah, you can go from one thing to another and not stay in one place all the time.

And I think, yeah, everyone should always be constantly learning through being inquisitive, I think.

That's probably one thing that drives me, is that if I am trying to work something out or don't know how to do something, I'll try and get to the bottom of it myself.

And I suppose, yeah, that's been a philosophy that I've used all the time.

If you want something fixed, don't immediately go, oh, I can pay someone to fix this, you know.

I can potentially work out how to repair it myself.

Yes, I love the repair side of things.

That kind of whakaaro.

is reminding me of an exhibition that you had, I think, was it last year with the Star Wars? It was maybe two years ago.

Yeah, it was last year, actually.

Out of the darkroom exhibition space.

What was your inquisitiveness journey into putting that exhibition together? Because I'd love to hear more about your inquisitiveness process when it comes to putting together an event or something for the community.
