FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES (1969) is Toshio Matsumoto’s mythic, freewheeling odyssey through the underground culture of queer 1960s Tokyo. The iconic Pītā stars as Eddie, a Shinjuku nightclub hostess and avant-garde It Girl enmeshed in a love triangle- but that’s not really important because”Funeral” is a film of shattered imagery and electrifying aesthetics, proto-punk and the cinema of transgression. Mastumoto’s first feature remains a shock to the system, now gorgeously restored for your delight.

The world is in the midst of a pan-Pacific renaissance. We’re seeing evidence of Māori and other Pasifika people reforging ancient alliances. Māori and Pacific peoples share not just a whakapapa (genealogy) but also a common political situation — we are both at the bottom of the white supremacist, socio-economic hierarchies that we live in. Let us awaken to the links and recognise that the only way to effectively resist colonisation is to look at the relationships it has tried to destroy and suppress. PRECOG reconnect the threads of whakapapa that colonisation has broken, and unites us all in celebration to tackle the big social and ecological challenges of our time.

Fraser’s art practice explores how rules-based, process oriented drawing can become a metaphor for the exploration of self. Generally the works begin with a system (set of rules), a grid on the paper and a supply of pens. In hand drawing to a system, there comes a time in the drawing process when ‘mistakes’ are made, where Fraser has ‘broken the rules’.
