The Māori-Samoan Art Director Championing Diversity
Article – RNZ 'What we put on stage and screen matters.' , RNZ Pacific Digital Journalist 'What we put on stage and screen matters.' This mantra forms the core of an online talent directory founded by Māori-Samoan (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine) art director Leon Bristow. BEINGS represents Aotearoa's People of Colour (POC), rainbow, and disabled talent in the advertising industry, 'disrupting the existent status quo' and using voices that Bristow said have been historically sidelined, or misrepresented, in casting calls for advertisements. Bristow's idea for BEINGS came while living in Spain, as he observed controversies in the creative industry over representation. 'There have been so many – Scarlett Johanson withdraws from roles after transgender backlash; Eddie Redmayne says starring in 'The Danish Girl' was a mistake; Taika Waititi's 'Time Bandits' under fire for lack of representation in cast.' He questioned the lag in representation in creative fields like advertising and recalled moments of frustration when working on sets, where he witnessed it first-hand. 'There have been comments that I don't always agree with (as an art director), because it is about profiling – racially profiling, stereotyping, pigeonholing. 'One time, we were casting for a queer couple, and we had people's thumbnails on the screen… some colleagues suggested we cast a person, because she 'looks queer'. 'I put my hand up and said, have we actually asked if they are queer? In these situations, you are taking opportunities away, income away, from these actual communities if we are giving it to a straight couple – and they don't know how to potray that identity authentically. So my next question was: shouldn't we ask that?' Bristow's personal experiences and identity have shaped his commitment to authentic representation. 'People can find it complicated. You have to raise your hand, backtrack through the process. Sometimes the intentions aren't bad but the questions aren't being asked. 'I have certainly grown a shorter tolerance for this. I have learnt, as one of the few Māori/Pasifika in the industry, that I have a responsibility to my community to give back. 'Starting this project up really supports that, and provides a new platform in this space.' Bristow's directory received funding from Creative New Zealand. 'What we are doing is creating a kaupapa that centres BIPOC, rainbow, and disabled voices in a way that allows them to not just exist, but thrive – from casting, to collaboration, to exhibition,' Bristow said. 'Our work is about creating futures where diversity isn't just an add-on, but a given.' At an Auckland Pride Festival Studio One – Toi Tū exhibition, BEINGS showcased some of the talent in its directory. Executive director for Auckland Pride, Hāmiora Bailey (Ngāti Porou Ki Harataunga, Ngāti Huarere), said the photography exhibition is a vital intervention in Aotearoa's media landscape. 'At a time when systemic exclusion still defines many of New Zealand's screen, television, and theatre sectors, BEINGS challenges prevailing stereotypes and opens space for more genuine storytelling,' he said. Bailey added that disparities in representation remain stark. A 2016 NZ On Air diversity report showed women made up 55 per cent of funded television producers, with 33 per cent directors, and 11 per cent had directed drama. Asian producers represented only one per cent, despite making up 11.8 percent of the population. Māori producers reached 23 percent in 2021, exceeding their population share, and Pacific producers were at 7.6 percent. Initiatives like the New Zealand Film Commission and Māoriland Film Festival have supported this shift.

The story of a little-known transgender pioneer has fully come to light
Dora would become the first person to undergo gender confirmation surgery, complete with vaginoplasty, depilation, and hormonal supplements. She began the process in 1931 and would complete it two weeks ahead of Lili Elbe's better-known transition, depicted in the film 'The Danish Girl . ' Elbe has a street named for her; I've visited her grave, upon which people moved by her story as a transgender pioneer have left mementos. Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Few remember Dora. Advertisement Dora Richter's grave in Allersberg, Germany, is unmarked, and its general location was only I'd spent three years in archives in Berlin chasing down Dora's story. Finding Dora required hunting through government documents, translating hundred-year-old dissertations, and looking for material that survived Nazi purges. For me, pulling together the disparate pieces of her life into a book has been a task of exhumation as much as reclamation. Advertisement For years, when mentioned at all, Dora appeared as a coda to a tragedy — a victim of the Nazis who attacked the Institute for Sexual Science in 1933. But Dora's story is bigger, brighter, and longer than that dark period. She outlived her persecutors and survived long after the Third Reich had fallen. This is the story of a forgotten first, the vibrant and unsinkable Dora who lived her life with authenticity. Dora Richter circa 1930. Unknown The village of Seifen stands at an elevation of around 3,000 feet. Despite its location on the Czech side of the border, most of the residents were then German and Catholic. On April 17, 1892, a Rudolf Richter would be entered into the town's baptismal records as the second child of Josef and Antonia, a musician and a lacemaker. Antonia had wished for a girl, and reproductive superstitions were strong in the late 19th century. Her wishes were thought to have been transferred onto the child, who was born a cherubic creature, small and delicate, and took after her mother in looks and personality. Antonia taught her children lacemaking, but their father rebuked the art as inappropriate for a boy. He insisted that Rudolf wear trousers, but Rudolf took to sneaking dresses from the girls. 'He' then chose the name Dora and wore women's clothing in secret, despite the threat of a beating. It is unclear exactly when she adopted the new name, but she wrote letters to a schoolmate under the name Dora. Dora Richter circa 1930. Unknown With the first signs of puberty, Dora even attempted to remove the offending penis. The first try failed, and the child feared to make a second. Inconsolable, Dora swallowed nails in a suicide attempt. She was only 13 years old. Advertisement I read Dora's account of this for the first time in a dimly lit reading room at Humboldt University in Berlin. An unpublished doctoral thesis contained the transcript of an interview with Dora from 1923. Typed on onion skin paper in fading purple ink were Dora's own words. I was struck then, as I am now, by how strikingly similar Dora's plight resembles that of modern transgender teens. For all the talk of trans identity being a modern invention, in the 19th century a working-class teenager in an isolated mountain town had the same struggles. Dora would eventually leave home to work as an apprentice baker to send money back to her family. Whenever possible, she dressed and lived as a woman. More than anything, she wanted to be loved by a man — but as a woman. And for this simplest of wishes, she faced abuse and ridicule from her family, threats and blackmail from strangers, and the risk of imprisonment — or worse, as the rising Nazi party targeted gender and sexual nonconformists. When I began researching Dora's life in 2020, I was convinced, like many researchers before me, that she had met her end at the Institute for Sexual Science in 1933, the day Hitler's 'Sturmabteilung,' a paramilitary organization, sacked it and burned its books — a tragedy immortalized in black-and-white film reels. Until at least 2023, everyone assumed Dora was killed in this attack. It was only when I, Clara Hartman, and a few others began digging deeper did the full story emerge. Advertisement The intake interview revealed what Dora thought about herself as well as her adventures, her lovers, her heartbreaks. An update to her birth record showed that she had returned home after the notorious book burning. A spare mention in a census revealed she had escaped both the Nazis and the encroaching Soviets to return to Allersberg. In each mention, her new gender, achieved surgically, was preserved: Dora was the woman who lived. She made lace, tended flowers, and kept pet birds; she was remembered as a smiling old woman who died peacefully. She lived a long and healthy life. So why, I asked myself, hadn't her story been preserved along with that of Lili Elbe? Elbe was a painter, supported largely by her partner, and she even wrote a book about her experiences. Dora, on the other hand, eschewed the limelight. She was not glamorous or well-heeled. She had no higher education, no grand aspirations, no claim to titles. She worked menial jobs in factories and as a maid. Her experience reveals the quiet life of a person who, above all, wished to be an ordinary woman. There are many more Doras than Lilis — thousands of transgender people leading lives that will not be memorialized. And that is what makes her so very important right now. Pulling her story from the fragments of history likewise helps us recognize there are countless transgender people who have always been among us, living, loving, struggling, and also quietly thriving.

EXCLUSIVE JK Rowling 'doesn't care' about new Harry Potter star's defiance - as he now faces backlash from trans community for 'virtue signalling'
JK Rowling 'won't care at all' that the actor chosen to play Severus Snape in HBO 's Harry Potter series has turned on her - as trans activists berated him for not quitting the show to spite the author. Paapa Essiedu, who this summer will begin filming the show that will make him a multi-millionaire, has signed a letter standing 'in solidarity' with members of the LGBT + community 'impacted' by the Supreme Court gender ruling. An insider with working knowledge of the Harry Potter series told MailOnline today that Ms Rowling will not be bothered one iota by Essiedu's decision - and wouldn't dream of intervening to get him sacked, despite being heavily involved in the project. 'Jo won't care at all', MailOnline's source said when asked about Paapa's decision to sign the letter. 'She knows how powerful Harry Potter is and it's bigger than its cast. She knows she's going to come against criticism but she is now uncancelable. 'For her it's business as usual', which is to 'continue to build the Harry Potter brand' while supporting women's rights, the insider added. It came as trans activists turned on Paapa, accusing him of virtue-signalling because he has not quit the show inspired by the books of their bête noire, branding his stance 'plain hollow'. The star of HBO's Harry Potter reboot Paapa Essiedu (pictured) has turned on its author JK Rowling in a letter standing 'in solidarity' with members of the LGBT + community One critic said: 'It's a potential career boost for sure. The fact that he is working on a project that puts even more money in her pockets says a lot more about his values than any letter or petition he could possibly sign'. Another wrote: 'A signature under an open letter will not undo the damage JK can inflict on the community with the millions she will make from this show'. A third said: 'This is just plain hollow. If you truly care, call her out'. MailOnline's source has said that JK and HBO would not dream of firing him – and he is unlikely to quit due to the fame and fortune it will bring. 'I don't think they would want that [his sacking] optically. 'If he chooses to leave the cast then that's his personal decision but it's a job on a huge show', the source said. The letter, signed by more than 400 industry professionals including other actors from the franchise, claimed the ruling earlier this month 'undermines the lived reality and threatens the safety of trans, non-binary, and intersex people living in the UK'. Eddie Redmayne, star of Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts, is also amongst the signatories, having previously admitted he regrets playing a transgender character in The Danish Girl. Rowling, 59, who has been outspoken on gender issues, supported the ruling, which said that the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex. Essiedu is set to star as Hogwarts teacher Snape, who was previously played by the late Alan Rickman in the film series, in a TV adaption of Rowling's famous novels, which will reportedly start filming this summer. The London born actor's appointment sparked criticism from some fans while others defended him against what they called a 'racist backlash'. HBO bosses had stood by outspoken Rowling when many lovers of the boy wizard franchise said she should have nothing to do with the new TV show. Essiedu's casting was announced earlier along with news that Emmy winner John Lithgow will play Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer will take on the role of Professor Minerva McGonagall and Nick Frost will play Rubeus Hagrid. While many applauded the move when rumours of his casting first emerged in March, others raised concerns about potential racist backlash and fought against social media users who questioned whether the British actor would look the part. Fans noted that as a black actor, playing the role of the professor who is bullied by Harry Potter's father James during their years as students at Hogwarts would 'totally change the dynamics of the James/Lily/Snape storyline'. Elsewhere, critics of the Harry Potter author criticised her role as an executive producer on the show because of her views on transgender issues. HBO chiefs later defended her role, saying Rowling had a 'right to express her personal views'. Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, who led the Fantastic Beasts films, Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in the Harry Potter film series, and Ghosts actress Charlotte Ritchie, who appeared as a student in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, also signed the letter. Another signatory was Bridgerton actress Bessie Carter, the daughter of Dame Imelda Staunton, who played Dolores Umbridge in the popular films, and Breeders star Daisy Haggard, who voiced the Ministry Of Magic lift in the Harry Potter films. Other signatories of the film and TV letter include The Brutalist actor Joe Alwyn, Babygirl star Harris Dickinson, The Last Of Us actor Bella Ramsey, Happy Valley star James Norton, and Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, who previously said she was 'disgusted' by the ruling. The letter said that the signatories wish to 'add our voices to the 2000+ signatories of the Open Letter from UK Writers to the Trans Community published last week', which was signed by Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies and Chewing Gum's Michaela Coel. The letter called on organisations including Bafta and the BBC to join them in 'condemning' the Supreme Court ruling by 'using their public platforms to make meaningful commitments to protecting trans, non-binary, and intersex members, talent and staff from discrimination within their respective organisations.' It said: 'Film and television are powerful tools for empathy and education, and we believe passionately in the ability of the screen to change hearts and minds. This is our opportunity to be on the right side of history.' Rowling appeared to celebrate the April 16 ruling by posting a photo of her smoking a cigar on social media, with the caption 'I love it when a plan comes together', with the hashtags Supreme Court and Women's Rights. The Supreme Court decision was hailed as a victory by women's rights campaigners, but LGBT+ charity Stonewall described it as 'incredibly worrying for the trans community'. The judges said trans people are still protected from discrimination under equalities legislation, and that this interpretation of the law does not cause disadvantage to the 'potentially vulnerable group'. While Rowling has been commenting at length on social media about the Supreme Court decision, fans have noted the apparent silence from three main Harry Potter stars who featured in the blockbuster movie adaptations of her books. Daniel Radcliffe, 35, and fellow Harry Potter stars Emma Watson, 35, and Rupert Grint, 36, have spoken publicly in support of gender ideology - that biologically male trans women should be regarded as women. And they have each commented in opposition to Rowling's views on the issue, while expressing their gratitude for her role in their careers. The author herself appeared to aim a jibe at them last month, when sharing on her X account a response to another user who asked: 'What actor/actress instantly ruins a movie for you?' Rowling wrote: 'Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible.' And she previously indicated in April last year she would not forgive Radcliffe nor Watson as she criticised celebrities she said had 'cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights'. On that occasion the multi-millionaire author hit out at stars accused of using their 'platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors' after the release of the long-awaited Cass report into gender treatment in the UK. That government-commissioned study deemed there to be 'remarkably weak evidence' for gender-affirming techniques in children such as puberty blockers. It also said that 'for the majority of young people, a medical pathway may not be the best way' to help when they are 'presenting with gender incongruence or distress'. When one fan said they were 'just waiting for Dan and Emma [Watson]' to offer a 'very public apology' knowing they'd be safe in the knowledge the author would forgive them, Rowling wrote: 'Not safe I'm afraid. 'Celebs who cosied up to a movement intent on eroding women's hard-won rights and who used their platforms to cheer on the transitioning of minors can save their apologies for traumatised detransitioners and vulnerable women reliant on single sex spaces.' Harry Potter author JK Rowling appeared to aim an online jibe last month at the three young actors who have disagreed with her stance on gender issues Social media users have now been commenting on the apparent silence of Harry Potter film stars in relation to the new judgment by the Supreme Court. Judges ruled that trans women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) can be excluded from single-sex spaces if 'proportionate'. It marks the culmination of a long-running legal battle between the Scottish government and women's group For Women Scotland over the definition of a 'woman' in Scottish law. The case centred on whether somebody with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) recognising their gender as female should be protected from discrimination as a woman under the Equality Act. The Scottish government had argued that such people were entitled to sex-based protections, meaning a transgender person with a GRC certificate identifying them as female would count towards women's quota. But campaign group For Women Scotland claimed they only applied to people born female. The Supreme Court has now ruled that the words 'sex', 'man' and 'woman' in the Equality Act must mean 'biological sex', rejecting any alternative interpretations as 'incoherence and impracticable '. Rowling's evident disagreement with Radcliffe had begun after she called out an article that used the phrase 'people who menstruate' instead of women, writing: 'I'm sure there used to be a word for those people. Someone help me out. Wumben? Wimpund? Woomud?' Shortly afterwards, Radcliffe penned an article for an LGBT+ suicide prevention charity in which he insisted that 'transgender women are women'. He told The Atlantic last April that he had not spoken to Rowling for years, which upset him, but would not heed her call suggesting he should apologise to detransitioners harmed by puberty blockers. He said: 'I will continue to support the rights of all LGBTQ people, and have no further comment than that.' Radcliffe added: 'Jo, obviously Harry Potter would not have happened without her, so nothing in my life would have probably happened the way it is without that person. But that doesn't mean that you owe the things you truly believe to someone else for your entire life. 'It makes me really sad, ultimately, because I do look at the person that I met, the times that we met, and the books that she wrote, and the world that she created, and all of that is to me so deeply empathic.' Radcliffe has long been a supporter of the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ suicide-prevention hotline and crisis-intervention resource. Meanwhile Watson, who became famous after playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film series, has previously spoken out on the trans debate. She wrote: 'Trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren't who they say they are. 'I want my trans followers to know that I and so many other people around the world see you, respect you and love you for who you are.' Their fellow co-star Grint has also previously spoken up, telling the Times in 2020: 'I firmly stand with the trans community and echo the sentiments expressed by many of my peers. 'Trans women are women. Trans men are men. We should all be entitled to live with love and without judgement.' Bafta and the BBC have been approached for comment. The letter in full: We the undersigned film and television professionals stand in solidarity with the trans, non-binary, and intersex communities who have been impacted by the Supreme Court ruling on April 17th. We wish to add our voices to the 2000+ signatories of the Open Letter from UK Writers to the Trans Community published last week, and call upon members of our industry and cultural bodies to join us. The Supreme Court's ruling that, under the Equality Act, 'woman' is defined by biological sex, states that 'the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man'. We believe the ruling undermines the lived reality and threatens the safety of trans, non-binary, and intersex people living in the UK. The Equalities & Human Rights Commission's interim update on the ruling states that trans women are not permitted access to women's facilities and trans men are not permitted access to men's facilities, while further suggesting that trans people may also be excluded from using facilities that correspond to their biological sex. We believe this guidance exposes trans people to embarrassment and harassment, and excludes them from participation in public life. We stand with the many women, including Labour MP Kate Osborne and Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer, who have condemned both the ruling and the EHRC guidance. We applaud them for highlighting the negative consequences that both will have for all women, and the harm that trans and gender nonconforming people face as a result. The UK film and television industry is at the forefront of cultural change. In recent years we have come together in response to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements to reflect upon our working practices and uplift a broad spectrum of voices in our society. We must now urgently work to ensure that our trans, non-binary, and intersex colleagues, collaborators and audiences are protected from discrimination and harassment in all areas of the industry - whether on set, in a production office, or at a cinema. We applaud Equity's response to the Supreme Court ruling and commitment to its trans members, and call upon our cultural institutions, including Bectu, BAFTA, BFI, Directors UK, Picturehouse, BBC, Writers Guild and Channel 4, to join us in condemning the Supreme Court ruling by using their public platforms to make meaningful commitments to protecting trans, non-binary, and intersex members, talent, and staff from discrimination within their respective organisations. Film and television are powerful tools for empathy and education, and we believe passionately in the ability of the screen to change hearts and minds. This is our opportunity to be on the right side of history.
