Australia’s oldest Indigenous gallery Cooee Art will relaunch as Art Leven, ushering in a new era for the gallery under the stewardship of long-term owner and Director Mirri Leven. The vision will focus on transparent dialogue, offering an opportunity beyond the ordinary commercial relationship between artist and gallery, fostering an environment of openness and direct exchanges between artists. Art Leven will work directly with First Nations curators, art centres, and represented artists. Mirri Leven tells us more about the new era for Australia’s oldest indigenous Gallery. Sydney artist Christophe Domergue’s latest exhibition, dust room, is a site specific show, created on the of his Marrickville studio’s floor. And we hear from Christophe in amongst his work at Sheffer Gallery in Darlington. The 2023 Saxo Scandinavian Film Festival will be showcasing the finest of Nordic Cinema and we explore the program.
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.
