Little Doomsdays

by Nic Low & Phil Dadson

A unique collaboration in words and art It's said - in the quiet between buses, down the back of the pub, in the hushed elevator rising to the penthouse - that in the late twentieth century an unstable grouping of scholars, writers and fanatics from several Ngai Tahu hapu in Murihiku created what has come to be known as the Ark of Arks. It's said that this project aimed to catalogue all known arks from the last five millennia. It was a failed attempt to capture previous civilisations' failed attempts to preserve whatever was valuable to them: waka huia, time capsules, caches, burial ships, seed banks. The fifth in the ground-breaking korero series conceived and edited by Lloyd Jones, Little Doomsdays is another rich collaboration between an artist and a writer. This time legendary musician and painter Phil Dadson responds to a wildly innovative text that's steeped in te ao Maori by Ngai Tahu writer Nic Low.
