Coco Solid and Lissy & Rudi Robinson-Cole: Igniting, Sharing and Multiplying Joy in the Time of Corona

This episode features Lissy and Rudi Cole, who share a passion in life to ignite joy through their sculptural crochet art, and Jessica Hansell, aka Coco Solid, a prolific  emcee, writer, artist, director and producer - and driving force behind Wheke Fortress, a soon to open gallery and community arts space in Onehunga. 

Recorded in February 2022, we called it “Igniting, Sharing, and Multiplying Joy in the time of Corona.” It also features input from Jessica Palalagi, the General Manager of the Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi. We hope you love it as much as we did.
