Today is our final podcast and we are once again on the move, this time recording at Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. Goma's Bruce McLean, curator of Indigenous art at the gallery, has been sharing some of his favourite works in the collection as part of our My Favourite Work Series. Today we catch up with Vernon Ah Kee, who created one of one of McLean's favourite works, Neither Pride nor Courage, to talk about reclaiming old ethnographic archives through portraiture. Vernon and Bruce also talk about anger, art and the major exhibition currently at Goma, My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Australia
While we are wrapping up, the festival still continues to run until the end of September with events including the free Opera on the Riverstage. Lindy Hume has taken up the role of artistic director at Opera Queensland after stints at the helm of Sydney Festival and Perth International Arts Festival. Lindy chat to Vicky about her love of being back in the rehearsal room, the challenges of shaking up old ideas of the artform, and anticipation about Phillip Glass' new opera The Perfect American which will have its Australian premiere at next year's festival.
Vicky is joined by Andrew P Street and Ben Neutze with our final podcast reviews: Psycho Beach Party , A Western and The Men My Mother Loved
