Produced and presented by Angela Stretch, the program participants acknowledge the custodians of the Gadigal lands from which the program has been produced and broadcasts from at Eastside Radio.

Performance artist, provocateur and educator New Zealand artist Jim Allen passed away this month at the age of 100. The formative artist leaves an incredible legacy and we acknowledge his radical thinking in recounting a memory of Small Worlds, originally produced in 1969, and reworked in 2010. Black birds don’t mate with starlings is Janaka Malwatta’s collection of poetry. It’s a work of activism, fury and hope. It combines performance poetry with witness that recounts experiences of racism as well as historic injustices.
