Your Arts Playground: Recent Episodes
Seesaw Magazine
If you love the arts and you’re interested in Western Australia, then this is the podcast for you! Presented by Seesaw, WA’s premiere online arts magazine https://www.seesawmag.com.au/, Your Arts Playground is a fast and furious 15 minutes, jam-packed with everything you need to know about what’s coming up in metro and regional WA. Each month Seesaw editors Rosalind Appleby and Nina Levy will be sharing their hot tips on what shows, concerts and exhibitions are coming up. Whether you’re frustrated because you always hear about the cool shows after they’ve finished, or you just want to get more arts in your life, Your Arts Playground has you covered. This podcast was recorded on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar by Nina Levy and Rosalind Appleby and mixed by Gemma King. The theme music, "Newsy Hipster", is by Josh Hogan and Ned Beckley of Envelope Audio. We acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
The first of three podcasts in partnership with the Chamber of Arts and Culture WA tackles the future of the arts and the environment. How are arts and culture in WA impacted by environmental change and what is the sector’s role in addressing these issues now and in coming decades?Three of WA’s leading thinkers come together to discuss the future of the arts and the environment.
Self-confessed “hope merchant”, Peter Newman, brings a broad perspective from decades as Professor of Sustainability at Curtin University, and from his work for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Dr Renee Newman is a lecturer and researcher at WAAPA, an actor, director and producer with a thread of commentary on sustainability, excess and waste. Together with Professor Newman she has founded a Leadership in Sustainability course at Curtin.
Oron Catts is an artist, researcher, designer and curator. He has co-founded SymbioticA which uses biological science to critique the cultural and ethical issues of life manipulation.
Together with host Meri Fatin they discuss eco-dramaturgy and how the arts can challenge people to rethink their perceptions around art practice, science, ethics and the future. But is the role of the arts just to make people feel bad? Or can we enlist artists to be great dreamers – to dream the world we need? Tune in to find out whether hope is problematic as an obstacle for realistic foresight. And whether artists can also be solutionists?
Show notes Author and poet Ben Okri called for a “new art” to shock people into action in a recent article in The Guardian. * The “Leadership in Sustainability” course is being run by Dr Newman at Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute * Oron Catts is co-founder of SymbioticA, the Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts at the University of Western Australia * Kimberley-based artist Sam Newman produced a massive canvas map harpooning “Col’s canal”, a proposal for a 3700km waterway from Kimberley to Perth that former premier Colin Barnett infamously took to the 2005 State election. * Katie Mitchell’s production of “Lungs”, about a couple wrestling with the environmental impact of having a baby, was powered entirely – sound and lights — by its two protagonists on stationary bikes. * The Blue Room Theatre became the first arts organisation in Western Australia to become carbon neutral in 2019 * European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has a program to engage art and science with policy. * Seesaw Magazine investigates further in the feature article “Let’s talk about the future: Can the arts help save the planet?”*
This podcast was recorded at RTRFM studio in August 2022. It was produced by Seesaw Magazine in partnership with the Chamber of Arts and Culture WA with the support of Lotterywest.
Tourism and the arts are both finding their feet post-pandemic. How can the relationship between the two be strengthened now and into the future?In this third and final episode in the “Lets talk about the future” series, Meri Fatin hosts a conversation bristling with optimism and laughter as industry experts discuss the beginning of a new journey for arts and tourism, and how the two sectors can coordinate efforts to share strategies and open the curtain into each other’s worlds.
Joining the conversation is former journalist Di Bain, the Deputy Lord Mayor of City Perth and Chair of Tourism Western Australia, designer and director Mark Howett who is the Director of Place management for Arts and Culture Trust, and visual artist and urban designer Helen Curtis, the founder and director of creative consultancy Apparatus.
Together they talk about the new Tourism WA marketing campaign, whether we might have seen the end of cultural cringe for Western Australians, how there is only one Boorloo and much more.
Show notes: The new Tourism WA campaign Walking on a Dream features First Nations dancers Rika Hamaguchi and Ian Wilkes * Mark Howett is Director of Place management at the Arts and Culture Trust * Helen Curtis is the founder and director of creative consultancy Apparatus * Boorna Waanginy (The Trees Speak) illuminated Kings Park in a magical immersion of sights and sounds for the 2017 Perth International Arts Festival (now Perth Festival), returning in 2019 and drawing more than 200,000 visitors. * The State and Federal Governments recently pledged $104 million to build a world-class Aboriginal cultural centre*

On the eve of the reopening of the Art Gallery of WA, Director Colin Walker gives us a peek behind the scenes: what to expect, why there were delays and how the new-look gallery has put WA artists front and centre. The transformation of the Art Gallery of WA includes over 100 new commissions plus a $10 million new rooftop bar area with an interior gallery, an outdoor sculpture walk, and a 34 metre contemporary Aboriginal art piece. Colin Walker talks us through what to expect as the Gallery reopens, and how the vision to make the building more welcoming has gone deeper than just bricks and mortar.
The Honourable Kim Beazley AC, Governor of Western Australia, is a relatively recent convert to the arts. He chats with Rosalind Appleby about his advocacy work, his “crazy blokes” icon collection, and why a vibrant arts culture is the heart of a healthy democracy.
This month we’re excited about the re-opening the Art Gallery of WA, the Fremantle Biennale, the Perth International Jazz Festival… and more!Join Nina and Rosalind as they dive into the shows, concerts and exhibitions they’re looking forward to catching this month.Show notes
