In this episode I yarn with Coby Edgar, a proud queer First Nations curator and cultural practitioner. Coby shares her journey from Darwin to Sydney, the intersection of art and activism, and the significance of storytelling in keeping history and culture alive. We explore her approach to curating community-driven exhibitions, the joy of working with mob, and her vision for fostering connection through art.
Coby’s current exhibition, “Same, Same, Different,” at the Blacktown Arts Centre, explores how people connect across cultures through shared experiences like food, traditions, and storytelling. This community-focused show emphasizes the beauty of diversity while celebrating commonalities, inspired by her conversations with mob and her uncle’s insights on cultural overlaps.
The exhibition highlights the connections between people, place, and history, offering a joyful and thought-provoking perspective on identity and belonging. Don’t miss this incredible showcase of creativity and cultural dialogue!
New Partnership Series Announcement I am so excited to finally announce a brand-new partnership series with ANZ. A partnership that is based on a relationship that dates back 5-6 years and is a demonstration of ANZ’s commitment to invest in and build the capability of Indigenous peoples, businesses and communities.
This series will feature conversations with business owners, suppliers, community partners and employees about their personal journeys.
Topics in this series will include:
â–ª Meaningful career opportunities within ANZ
â–ª Building the capacity of Indigenous businesses and organisations
â–ª Helping individuals in the broader community to achieve financial wellbeing and resilience
This partnership extends from the work I have been doing with ANZ around building cultural capability across the entire business and what better week to launch than NRW week!
