Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Recognising two lifetimes of artistic excellence
Q: What does receiving the Red Ochre Award mean to you?
Djambawa describes the award as a recognition of a life's work and an opportunity to demonstrate to Australia the ongoing contributions of Aboriginal leadership and culture, with a sense of responsibility to advocate for community strengthening.
Trials makes it personal in new project 'hendle'
Q: Trials, can you set the scene for us? What were you doing when you decided you wanted to create a project that's not just an album but a whole artistic project?
He aimed to give people multiple entry points—an album, a 24-portrait gallery, and a memoir—that together tell his life story in a more holistic way than a single medium could. He wanted to make the story accessible through different senses and formats, building a cohesive world around Hendel.
The culinary mastery of Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo
Q: Why did you decide to write a cookbook later in life?
To share a legacy and to document a life of feeding and caring for community; it grew from encouragement by family to preserve language and stories.
The culinary mastery of Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo
Q: What drew you to Redfern when you moved to Sydney?
Her elders urged her to come to the city where cousins and opportunities were, to access work and education.
Baker Boy's latest album Djandjay marks a new era
Q: How do you ground yourself in a new city when you perform?
I connect with people I know in each city and enjoy the fan base, while appreciating the different weather and atmosphere.
