Over the weekend we couldn’t have fitted more into the programme even if we wanted to. Lee-Ann Buckskin, chair of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts Board discussed the new model for ‘proof of Aboriginality’ rules. Segment complete with a brief recap of the ‘temporary visa’ case involving performer Jack Charles. Educator and author Chris Sarra touched on the relevance of his ‘Stronger Smarter’ approach in the wake of his dismissal from the Queensland University of Technology. And, artistic director of Yirra Yaakin, and winner of the prestigious 2013 NAIDOC Perth ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’, Kyle Morrison, talked about performing Shakespeare sonnets in Noongar language over in the United Kingdom. If you missed Awaye! over the weekend, our repeat broadcast airs this evening on RN. Full episode information, including segment audio available on demand in the link provided. bit.ly/1aiMLCj
