Behind the Scenes 23rd June 2025

We’re in Darwin with Brown’s Mart Artistic Director Yvette Walker for the start of this week’s show and she’ll introduce us to Balla Neeba and Aunty Christine Fejo-King talking about the Aboriginal Science Fair On Country as well as Darwin Fringe Festival Director Hannah Illingsworth.

Then we catch up with Sarah Hopkins who’s the CEO of Your Library – at least it’s your library if you live in the Knox, Maroondah or Yarra Ranges local council areas – confused? Well, Sarah clears it up when she tells us about LIBBY the ebook and audio book app that’s had more than one million borrowings already…

After that, we’ll chat with photographer and video artist Laki Sideris who’s part of the ngurrak-al marram-u / body of the mountain exhibition at Burrinja Gallery in Upwey.

And finally, Moira Finucane is best known for her work in burlesque, but she’s also knows a lot about Antarctica, and she’ll be sharing that knowledge with children when her kids show The Rockstar and the Krill opens at Monash Performing Arts Centres as part of Family Fiesta.

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
