We had a lovely chat yesterday, uh, about, you know, how ... what, what is the role of the artist in talking about some of these big issues in our world around us?

Sure.

Thanks, Tansy.

Um, and I'd just like to say that, uh, I'm honored to be speaking here on the unceded lands of the Kaurna people during, uh, Adelaide Climate Action Week as well.

So thanks for inviting me.

Um, yeah, so I've been thinking about, um, the, the ways that artists can draw our attention to issues in the environment and the, the climate.

And I mean, we're situated here in, uh, the Elder Wing, where we've got historic examples and colonial examples of, um, artist practices and the ways that they engage with the environment, so I'll talk about a couple of those.

... maybe not necessarily climate, but what, what kind of... how do you use your own art for, for conveying the particular meaning that you're trying to impart?
