Jo Randerson's secret art powers revealed!
author interview books about 1 hour ago
Artist Jo Randerson calls them Secret Art Powers. Superpowers that everyone, individually and collectively, has access to. These are the powers that artists use daily, but might help us all navigate complex, changing times. They are to be found in Jo Randerson's just released book Secret Art Powers: How Creative Thinking Can Achieve Radical Change. I's a book for everyone. Indeed - an endorser Bret Mckenzie describes it as a "miraculous book that feels like an escape hatch for humanity." Published by Barbarian, the company Randerson founded back in 2001, Randerson doesn't profess to have all the secrets, but they come with great qualifications to write this. A published poet and playwright, curator, and a performance director and actor, Jo became an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit back in 2021, and won the Topp Prize for embodying the wildcard spirit of the Topp Twins in 2023. And that radical wildcard spirit joins Culture 101's Mark Amery to reveal her secret powers.
