Covid-19 1pm Press Conference
Shared by
Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
The 1pm Briefing This model was made by Scott Savage and Colleen Pugh during New Zealand’s Covid 19 Alert Level 4 Lockdown in March/April 2020. The model features the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Director-General of Health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield, and their New Zealand Sign Language translator, Alan Wendt, at their daily Covid-19 press conference briefing at the Beehive. The 1pm Briefing was appointment viewing for many people living in New Zealand at the time. During lockdown the creative couple had been entertaining themselves, and challenging others in their design circle, to make things from house-hold rubbish. They fashioned the 1pm Briefing from chip packets, cardboard boxes, stirrers and toilet rolls, lids of various kinds along with masking tape and spray paint. When Savage posted a picture of the model on his social media account, he wrote: ‘A reassuring thing during this time of isolation is the calming and confident presence of @jacindaardern and #ashleybloomfield + translator in the daily covid update press conference. @dearcolleen and I have immortalised them through our recycling trash capturing a moment that has now become a norm in our daily viewing’.
