Description
Badiucao is a Chinese-Australian political cartoonist and artist who makes work primarily about China's human rights record and role in international politics. But with a rising profile has come a loss of anonymity, reported intimidation and attempts to have international exhibitions of his work closed. He talks to Rosa about Chinese government censorship, cartooning, his art heroes and his filmmaking lineage.My Thing is… the Sydney Harbour cocktail cabinet. Woodworker Michael Gill has been making his magnum opus, a huge Art Deco-inspired cocktail cabinet capturing the many details of Sydney Harbour in native timbers, for 30 years. Now it’s complete and looking for a home.Anna Emina El Samad is a curator, writer and educator whose frustration with cultural gatekeeping and the barriers faced by artists of colour, led her to start Art Club, a regular gathering of artists to discuss their work and form connections. The community is focused on experimentation and dismantling traditional notions of art. Rosa meets Emina at her studio at a former supermarket in inner Melbourne. Her new podcast Art Club with Anna Emina is out soon.
