We revisit a conversation with Anna Langford, who is Campaign Co-ordinator at FOE's Act on Climate collective. We spoke to her a couple of weeks ago about the report, 'Climate Impacts at Work', recently published by RMIT University in collaboration with Friends of the Earth and six Victorian unions. This interview originally aired on our show on September 27th 2022.

 

Allara, a Yorta Yorta winyarr, speaks with Jasmine on her many talents, including composer, director, producer, musician and soundscape designer. Allara uses the double-bass and sound samples from Country to weave textures for healing and speaks to Blak justice and sovereignty. Allara was the recipient of the Archie Roach Foundation Award for Emerging Talent (Music Victoria Awards 2021) and is a founding member of Ensemble Dutala.

 

Dawn Tan, who is a recently announced judge for the 2023 Footscray Art Prize Young Artists Prize, speaks with Kannagi about the prize and the importance of art for young people. Dawn is an artist who spends her days painting, soap making and running art workshops for both children and adults.
