Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mas and Fressie - Yarra Youth Artists-in-Residence
Q: Could you tell us what you got up to in your terms of workshops?
Mas described basing workshops in animation to show how accessible it can be, using simple, hands-on methods like figure drawing, flip books, pixelation, and zoetropes to demonstrate animation without needing expensive gear.
Ben from Fed Square's Open Air Program
Q: Could you do a little introduction of yourself to our listeners and explain what your role as a programmer involves, particularly a film programmer?
I've been at Fed Square for about seven and a half years, and my role is twofold: curating the outdoor cinema program to reflect the square's vibe and year-round programming, and commissioning new video works with independent and First Nations artists for the big screen, creating a bridge between cinema and contemporary art in this public space.
Capturing youthfulness in art with Angela Connor from MAPh
Q: Why do you think photography is such a popular medium for exploring themes of youth?
Photography sits between the personal and the universal, capturing moments that people recognize as their own while also shaping cultural memory through unique processes and the immediacy of cameras across generations.
Schoolhouse Studios + art reflections
Q: What makes Coburg a unique art ecosystem?
Bron describes Coburg's roughness and charm that encourages grassroots art activities, fostering a supportive environment for exciting and celebratory exhibitions.
Schoolhouse Studios + art reflections
Q: What are some challenges and benefits of having community studio spaces?
