S2.E14: Representing Culture in a Digital World
Tell us what you thought about this episode
Digital has opened up a whole new world of possibilities.
When new projects are being explored, who represents the needs of your culture?
You... or is it a token effort?
Regardless of what benefits technology brings, each culture needs to be responsible for their own journey through the digital age and to beyond to ensure they get all the benefits.
In this episode I catch up with John Shortland, of Nga Puhi and Tainui descent, to discuss what happens when culture collides with technology.
