42 Joseph Michael: Visual Artist & EHF Fellow

Jun 27, 2021

So here I am, walking down the road in Wellington talking to this fella Joseph Michael (between events at an Edmund Hillary Fellowship gig), and I say, “what’s your thing Joe?”

We Kiwis are often way too modest, but his response was out of bounds! What an amazing story this is - a journey into worlds that most of us will never see - unless we experience one of Joseph’s incredible art installations. 

This podcast brought to your ears with the support of Te Awanga Estate.

  • 2019 CNN News article [3:05]: featuring Joseph's Antarctic iceberg art installation on the side of the UN building in New York.
