'Wog Features uses animation and live action to address racism in culture and gender. I chose animation because of its universal appeal to children as well as adults, and to increase the potential audience. Minstrels dance in blackface; golliwogs are incorporated into reconstructions of children's television. This politicised look at culture is almost on the edge of profanity. The education of our people should begin when they are young.' Lisa Reihana
