NATIONAL TALK BLACK – 25/11/2024
On todays National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service we have:
Jack Wilkie-Jans, Traditional Owner from Mapoon (Western Cape) and Aboriginal Affairs advocate, calls for Crisafulli to act on Cape York priorities. Mr Wilkie-Jans says the Cape York Peninsula was overlooked during the Queensland Government election campaign and has “sorely missed out”, calling out the lack of advocacy from all candidates. He is encouraging the new Queensland Government to commit funds urgently and champion other outstanding needs for Cape York Peninsula. Mr Wilkie-Jans is asking the Crisafulli Government to unveil their plans for Cape York within their first 100 days of government. He also calls on Ministers to visit the Cape York Peninsula, to each community, and meet consistently with the Torres Cape Indigenous Councils Alliance to assess the current policy framework for the region. He also urges the Crisafulli Government to hold their first Community Cabinet sessions in a regional setting like Cairns.
Connie Rovina, First Nation Artist, talking about the “Summer Show”. UMI Arts will complete its 2024 exhibition season with the launch of The Summer Show – a collectible, gift-worthy visual art and jewellery collection by 12 of the far north’s emerging and established First Nations artists, Featuring 41 artworks in various mediums, including a line of polymer bead jewellery. The artists who created this vibrant show of works were asked to draw inspiration from the far northern summer and dynamic, electrical energy of the tropics. Each piece expresses inspiration through various materials and mediums and has a unique story or provenance. The artwork’s lines, forms, textures, and structures tell stories about the artist, their existence and how they experience a typical tropical summer. The Summer Show is open from Monday to Friday from 22 November 2024 to 20 February 2025 between 10 am and 4 pm at UMI Arts Shop 4, Jensen Plaza Gallery, 1 Jensen Street, Manoora.
