    INTERVIEW: Arrente artist Amunda Gorey on kinship, connection and deep listening
    Aug 1 2025
    An art exhibition in Melbourne is showcasing the work of three Aboriginal sisters in a collection entitled 'Connected Through Country'. Artists Amunda, Grace and Myra Gorey own their own art collective called No Fixed Gallery, which is dedicated to celebrating 65,000 years of Arrernte culture through contemporary art. In this episode of Weekend One on One, Biwa Kwan spoke with Amunda Gorey about the inspiration for the latest collection - and how her art intersects with her work with non-profit Children's Ground to deliver change and impact for First Nations children through a pioneering model blending lifelong learning and confidence in culture and language.

And a warning - this feature contains the voice of someone who has died.
