The responsibility to tell your own story - a podcast by RRR - Triple R

Richard starts the episode with Veronica Pardo, CEO of Multicultural Arts Victoria about a new commissions program Shelter. The program sees art as a powerful way to share the unique perspective of multicultural practitioners on the experience of Covid because "what artists do is kind of creep in under your skin".

Next Richard chats with Narungga and Trawoolwaway artist Daen Sansbury-Smith about his new exhibition Black Crow, which is available online via the Koorie Heritage Trust. Sansbury-Smith sees his art as a responsibility; a way to share his stories and culture with his family and those around him.

Richard finishes with a discussion with Lena Nahlous, the Executive Director of Diversity Arts Australia, about their Creative Equity Toolkit. Nahlous hopes the kit can provide tools for people in the arts industry to have empowered conversations about the underrepresentation of CALD people in every area, and particularly in management. Nahlous would like to see organisations proactively challenging systemic racism.
