BODY:
Carmen Aguirre is a Vancouver based actress, author and playwright. Her book Something Fierce tells the story of her childhood in Chile with her parents who were part of the Chilean Resistance under Augusto Pinochet. Her family lived in exile in Canada, before returning to South America where she joined the resistance movement. Now back living in Vancouver, Carmen Aguirre's latest book Mexican Hooker #1 tells of her confronting the trauma of her past and trying to make it as an actress, constantly offered roles as a maid or a prostitute. She will be in Auckland next month for the Writers Festival.
EXTENDED BODY:
Carmen Aguirre's book Something Fierce tells the story of her childhood in Chile with her parents who were part of the Chilean Resistance under Augusto Pinochet. Her family lived in exile in Canada, before returning to South America where she joined the resistance movement.
Now back living in Vancouver, Carmen Aguirre's latest book Mexican Hooker #1 tells of her confronting the trauma of her past and trying to make it as an actress, constantly offered roles as a maid or a prostitute.
She will be in Auckland next month for the Writers Festival.
LISTEN to Kathryn Ryan's interview with Carmen Aguirre.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation below:
Were you in some ways torn between Canada and Chile? When you went back, what were your experiences as an adult?
Because we came to Canada as refugees, that’s very different to coming as an immigrant. So when somebody goes somewhere else as an immigrant, it’s all about reinventing themselves in the new country. When you’re a refugee, it’s all about the return. You don’t want to be where you are, you just want to go back to your country.
I grew up with that pull because I watched my parents go through that and the rest of the Chilean community in exile here in Vancouver and across Canada was all about the return, the return, the return, which is exactly what my mother and step-father did when I was 11 in 1979. They decided to go back and join the underground and my sister and I went with them.
My sister was 10 and I was 11 and we ended up running a safe house in Bolivia and in Argentina for Chilean resistance members going in and out of Chile during the ‘80s.
When my mother took my sister and I back, my father stayed here in Canada. They had split up by that point. So they had a deal that my sister and I would go back and forth between Canada and South America until we came of age. It was in one of those return trips to Canada that this rape happened when I was 13.
Indeed, your mother was somewhat torn. Tell us about the conversation you had, at McDonald's at LA airport of all places, and is this where she says to you, after having spent all of those years in Canada, “We’re going back to Chile”? How did she articulate that to you at that moment that seems so memorable?
She had told my sister and me that we were going to Costa Rica, so that was what my sister and I thought we were doing. Until we took the plane from Vancouver to LA and we were waiting for the connecting flight. That was when she says to us, “We’re not going to Costa Rica, that was never the plan, we’re actually going somewhere in South America, I can’t tell you where because that is top secret because we are going to join the underground”.
At that point we take a flight to Lima, Peru and there, once we take a flight to Lima, Peru, she still can’t tell us exactly where we will be living and we cross Peru by land and end up living in La Paz.
These next 10 years since that return, obviously what happens here at a political level is that you become an adult you have to begin seeing the world through your own eyes and not through the decisions being made by your parents, but you were still a young woman.
How did you begin to involve yourself in the realities of the life of a revolutionary? Was this a conscious political choice do you believe or was it something you almost grew into?
I think it’s a mix of both. It really was something that I believed in. For example my sister, we were raised exactly the same way, but she never took that route. It’s arguable to know whether or not you are born into it. Certainly not in her case, she was born into it, but chose to go in a completely different path.
When I was 18, I joined the resistance myself. It was 1986, the last few years of the Pinochet dictatorship and I really did believe that I wanted to do something because I didn’t want to later in life, when my children or grandchildren would ask me “What did you do in the Pinochet dictatorship?”, I wanted to look them in the eye and say, “This is what I did” as opposed to, “I didn’t do anything”.

The book, written by former Reserve Bank head Alan Bollard canvases the life and economics of Phillips, from his roots on a Dannevirke farm to POW camps in wartime, to him mixing it with the British intellectual world.
Phillips, was an electrician who used his knowledge of electrical engineering along with an interest in economics to build the MONIAC machine in the 1940s.
It was machine was a world-first - as a hydraulic-driven economics computing machine, which is now on display at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
He was also known worldwide as the originator of the Phillips Curve - which describes a historical inverse relationship between rates of unemployment and corresponding rates of inflation that result within an economy.

A living museum for Ans Westra
BODY:
A unique collaboration between a private dealer gallery, Suite and the Alexander Turnbull Library to create a living museum for the work of photographer, Ans Westra. David Alsop of Suite Gallery and Natalie Marshall the Curator of Photographs for the Alexander Turnbull Library
EXTENDED BODY:
A living museum devoted to the work of photographer Ans Westra has opened in Wellington.
A new living museum has been devoted to the life and work of photographer Ans Westra. She has been documenting New Zealand life for six decades, capturing significant moments in history as well as the everyday life of people throughout the country.
It is unprecedented in this country for a private exhibition or museum to be dedicated to the life of one person, but the man behind it, David Alsop of Suite Gallery in Wellington, says given her importance and enormous body of culturally and historically important work, he wanted to facilitate a greater public access to her photographs. It is now open in a space above Suite Gallery on Wellington's Cuba st.
The publicly-funded Alexander Turnbull Library has also collaborated on this initiative, as it owns Ans Westra's negatives.
LISTEN to Kathryn Ryan's interview with David Alsop of Suite Gallery and Natalie Marshall the Curator of Photographs for the Alexander Turnbull Library.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation below:
What has been involved in the collaboration from the library’s perspective? Let me get this correct, you own the negatives, we’re in this digitisation process right now, but you own the negatives, right? So what has been involved in the collaboration from your end and the practicality to get it underway?
Natalie Marshall – Well, as David said before, a contract was signed in 1982 between the library and Ans Westra, so that was when the library had known about Ans’ significance as a photographer. She had been working as a photographer for 20 years by then, so the library’s part has been to care for those negatives, the original collection items, to provide access to them – largely by proof sheets in the past, until the collection has been digitised, that has been the main access point – purchasing digitised versions of those negatives, meaning that there is much greater access to those negatives now. It is a wonderful thing for the library, it is a wonderful thing for Ans’ work.
It wasn’t that straight forward though was it David, you had to go in and argue that the pre-internet agreement, was… you know…
David Alsop - Well, I don’t know if ‘argue’ is the right word Kathryn! We met around a table a couple of times. It did need updating, obviously, 1982 compared to the modern era of internet usage particularly and the issues that flow from there as an artist and copyright holder of work.
So did everyone have to get together and effectively renegotiate understandings of the responsibilities?
David Alsop - The 1982 agreement was not crystal clear on the ownership of the negatives so we refreshed that and recorded an understanding now that the negatives are property of New Zealand through the library. Second to that was the agreement relating to the digitisation of the negative archives, which is about 5/6ths of the way through. We’ve had an assistant working full time on that for nearly two years now.
How many negatives does the library hold of Ans’ work?
Natalie Marshall – When the digitisation is complete, it will be about 60,000 images, so it is a significant collection, a significant body of work. Spanning decades, really. That’s part of the reason for it being such a comprehensive collection of the latter part of the 20th Century.
What is so significant about her work?
Natalie Marshall – one of the aspects of the significance is the span of time that she has been working, the quality of her work… she’s documented pivotal events in New Zealand history; the land march, the 1982 springbok tour, but she has also captured day to day events; people doing the laundry in small communities in New Zealand. She’s captured day to day life as well as those large events, which means the collection is of interest to a wide range of researchers.

Marine maternity ward
BODY:
Staff at the Island Bay Marine Education Centre have played midwife to baby carpet sharks that hatched almost a year after a female shark deposited the egg cases in a tank.
EXTENDED BODY:
Staff at the Island Bay Marine Education Centre are playing midwife to baby carpet sharks after one of their guests left some unexpected luggage behind.
Underwater specimens hum away in large glass tanks. They are on a short visit to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre before being returned to the sea.
A carpet shark caught in a fisher's crayfish pot one evening missed out on dinner, but the centre welcomed her in. Her stay was short but fruitful, because on the day of her release she began to lay eggs.
The centre has become the shark maternity ward, as one by one her eight eggs begin to hatch. It has taken around a year for the baby sharks to tug their way out of their eggs.
Julian Hodge, from the Bait House Aquarium, has been watching the shark eggs with a keen interest, as have many of the volunteers who come and help each Sunday.
“We take bets on how long we think it might take. We all got it really wrong so that cost me a couple of lunches!”
Carpet sharks are very common around Wellington, and often stay in shallow waters where it’s warm.
They eat worms and shellfish and other marine organisms.
But Julian has got his carpet shark babies, including one nick-named Millie, on something a bit more gourmet, feeding them sliced up mussels and sardines.
He says the local community has been enthusiastic about the shark eggs.
“Over the last 12 months a lot of people have been coming in and checking on the progress over the eggs as you can see them wriggling around inside”
Acting as foster parents for the eggs comes with a huge responsibility for Julian and his team at the centre.
“To the best of our knowledge no one has been able to do this in New Zealand before - look after the eggs from the day they’re born to the day they hatch - so there is a lot of unknowns and a lot of pretty cool information from that”

The Island Bay Marine Education Centre, on Wellington's south coast, was left with more than it bargained for when a guest - a mature carpet shark - began to lay eggs during her brief stay. The mother shark has since returned to the ocean, but her eggs remained in the tanks, until Millie hatched almost a year later. Lucy Smith pops in to see how the baby shark is doing.
