tiddas

If the border closures of the last two years have a silver lining for Australian artists and audiences, it must be the renewed focus on Australian work at our capital-city arts festivals.

This year's Brisbane Festival demonstrates what that kind of investment can achieve, with an array of world premieres gracing the city's stages, including Holding Achilles, Tiddas, Slow Boat and Othello.

It didn't take long for everyone to realise that Tiddas were special.

Yatu Widders-Hunt has always been a storyteller. A descendant of the Anaiwan & Dunghutti tribes, she was a freelance journalist before becoming a communications consultant, specialising in Indigenous policy and research.

But Yatu also loves fashion. In 2017, she set up her own Instagram page, Australian Indigenous Fashion, which has over 27 thousand followers and is dedicated to showcasing  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander fashion designers.

Yatu has emerged as the go, ‘ear to the ground’ for what’s happening in the Indigenous fashion space, acting as an advisor to non-Indigenous brands wanting to collaborate with Aboriginal designers and artists and building more diverse fashion events, including one at this year's Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival.

When you think about Aboriginal art, what comes to mind? A dot painting or an ancient image engraved on a rock?

Art in all its forms is forever evolving, growing and changing, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art isn’t exempt from this. 

In this episode, we meet Hannah Brontë.

Hannah is a Wakka Wakka Yaegel woman born and raised in Brisbane. She’s an artist and she describes herself as a “bridge between worlds”, exploring female empowerment through photography, performance, live installations and DJing.

Most importantly, Hannah seeks to make space for Indigenous women and girls. She wants their voices heard and their presence felt.

Today is January 26th and if you've ever wondered why this day causes so much controversy, or how it can affect Indigenous Australians, you need to hear this interview. 

Kamilaroi and Dunghutti woman, Marlee Silva, is back for Season 2 and in this episode, she's joined by her sister Keely, co-founder of Tiddas 4 Tiddas. 

Marlee and Keely have always felt differently about January 26. It’s the most polarising part of their relationship. Today they discuss what the day means to them, why they have handled it differently each year and what they want to see for the day in the future.

After the accidental success of the first Big Day Out in 1992, the festival grew quickly.

The Big Day Out expands quickly and becomes a national touring circus. Every music fan wants to go and every artist wants to play, with many bands treating the tour like a holiday.
