We hear news items: update on Djab wurrung campaign, Peter Waples Crowe InsideOut exhibition, injustice of a sports austhority banning Caster Semenya (Intersex Human Rights Australia), and RISE's election statement.Iris is then in conversation with Rowan Oliver, artist and filmmaker based in Birraranga/ Narrm, who loves spewing her opinions to the public when given the opportunity. We talk in a range of areas including politics, TERF, her art, activism, and beauty. Also mentioned: Contrapoints.

News, and Rowan Oliver on politics and art

What roles can social politics and social media play in driving an art practice? What role do beauty and aesthetic boundaries play in art today? How can these things interrelate?Tai Snaith and Rowan Oliver delve down the rabbit hole of creating fictions around ideas and images of self and others, creating characters and narratives to open up ideas of social inclusiveness and empathy. Rowan outlines how we should keep making these fictions despite the despair around us. How does marketing affect our image of ourselves? What roles or characters do we play in social media? And what role do we play in the art world? Is it all a play? Rowan refreshingly discusses how she can foresee parts of her practice ‘shedding’ and talks frankly about choosing the path with the most flexibility of being open with herself. We also discuss Casting as a medium, playing the ‘art system game’ and her plans of moving into ‘Aquarian frequencies and taking down the government’.
