Children live in a world not quite built for them and, for a long time, galleries were no exception. No touching. No talking. Just stand and receive.But, something is changing. Across Australia, galleries are beginning to meet children where they are — not just as visitors, but as artists in their own right.Tamsin Cull, head of public engagement at QAGOMA and Lilly Blue, head of learning and creativity research at AGWA, talk about children's creativity, and how galleries are being transformed by it.
Join us in our latest podcast episode where I discuss with John Matthews, Executive Director at AGWA, about effective water management in the era of climate change. He talks about the organization's approach to building resilience and adapting water resources management, a critical need in today's changing climate. Our conversation highlights how AGWA uses its methods to improve how we manage water globally. They bring together water management and climate science expertise, assisting governments, businesses, and communities in making smarter decisions about water use in the face of climate change One of the key parts of our conversation revolves around the challenges of updating legacy water systems and the urgency of new investments in water infrastructure, especially in developing countries. John emphasizes the importance of adapting our water management systems to be more climate-resilient and the need for integrating policy, finance, and technical knowledge to create sustainable water management solutions. He also shares some inspiring success stories from around the globe. From Udon Thani in Thailand, where urban lakes have become multifaceted solutions to water management issues, to Panama's climate ministry integrating water as a central theme in policy-making, and California emerges as a beacon of hope under Governor @Gavin Newsom, redefining water resilience as a driver of prosperity. For young professionals in the water sector, John offers valuable advice. He stresses the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and continuous learning. He encourages embracing the complexities of water management that go beyond the water cycle, involving legal, governance, economic, and social systems.
The Art Gallery of Western Australia and SPACED present Rural Utopias at The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) from 25 November 2023. Rural Utopias features new works by 10 artists from across Australia, developed over a series of residencies in rural and remote Western Australia, in dialogue with selected objects from AGWA's $361 million State Art Collection. In collaboration with their host communities, artists lived and worked within their residency locations responding to the overarching curatorial theme of “Rural Utopias” to deliver context-responsive and socially engaged art. SPACED Rural Utopias Curator, Miranda Johnson, speaks with Inside The Gallery's Tim Stackpool about the extended journey of the exhibition, the manner in which the artists were affected by the residencies, and how SPACED works with galleries to deliver unique and contemplative exhibitions. A transcript of this edition is available to download HERE. The transcriptions are made possible by support from the Australian Arts Channel.
We're speaking easy at the Speakeasy this Midsummer night, or as easy as we can speak with corporate censorship silencing our dreams & messing with our minds, as we take on the issues of the day… It actually is “Midsummer” night as we broadcast live on our “Midsummer Night's Dreamy Speakeasy,” with an Elizabethan hat tip to William Shakespeare... Midsummer is for lovers, so Capt'n Max & I kick it off with a June Honeymoon of senior sex, morning orgasms & love. All we need is mead! Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality!FDR stands for #FuckDaRich, but #EatTheRich is *in* thanks to Orcas who haven't yet eaten rich people, but seem to be eating their yachts… Meanwhile, the Titan gobbled up 5 rich guys & imploded with a giant Belch of Death. Burt calls in to say how this ridiculously dangerous “submersible” was made of Radio Shack parts, run by a joystick & a Bluetooth. Titan's CEO was determined to *penetrate* the impenetrable Titanic—like a dude determined to seduce a woman who's rejecting him—AND named his damn company “Oceangate”— like he knew he'd soon go the way of Watergate, Gamergate & Heaven's Gate. Tragically, as everyone searched for a few fat cats, 100s of migrants drowned like rats… RIP Daniel Ellsberg, the GOAT of “whistleblowers” & one of my heroes, from his courageous release of the Pentagon Papers, through his bombshell “Doomsday Machine” expose of a chilling reality not too far from Stanley Kubrick's wild Dr. Strangelove, to his recent support for Julian Assange & many antiwar whistleblower causes… Another Kubrick film, “Eyes Wide Shut,” a midsummer night's cinematic wet dream that's *really* a critique of capitalism, comes up as we talk about Hunter Biden, recently outed for ass-grabbing (Trump's not the only one, but Hunter's not running for Prez) at SNCTM (a sex club modeled on Eyes Wide Shut), by SNCTM founder Damon Lawner who was then kicked out of his own club for outing Biden! As a sex therapist, I understand confidentiality is key… & it makes me wonder, what kind of “group therapy” goes on at SNCTM? We also discuss Putin almost getting toppled (or did he?) by Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin at the stroke of Midsummer, creating a media-induced frenzy of confusion; just stop this war & all Perma War! Wonder if Trumpty Dumpty would hide Putin in the shitter with the secret docs if Prigozhin's putsch comes to shove… On the lighter—& saltier—side, Rich calls in to extoll my Birthday Bacchanal & inquire about the history of Bonoboville Communion & Waterboarding, The Bonobo Way with Agwa, +Tequila Toe Shots & Shrimping Cocktails! Shardoll calls in to let me know I'm so “hot” I'd “rock a bikini,” even though—or because—I'm a Cougar… Then “Plumpy Chunks” asks I've ever “partied” with Alisha Klass & yes I have(!)—along with her then BF Seymore Butts… Shardoll asks about bonobos & The Bonobo Way, whereupon I expound upon my favorite subject: the Make Love Not War Make Kink Not War great apes… Bonoboville is antiwar for many reasons, chief of which that war kills people and ruins the earth, but also the expense, the latest insane example being Pentagon garbage cans costing over $51K each—way to throw our tax money into the trash! Happy belated Juneteenth, America's most profound celebration of reality-based freedom, commemorating the hard-fought, long-overdue freeing of some 250,000 slaves that built this great nation on real estate stolen from the Natives, whose descendants are still discriminated against in this supposed land of the “free”—which brings us to “freedom”—Free Love Free Speech & the costs of freedom. Freedom isn't free, & in the Capitalocene, it costs more & more… Meanwhile, the City of Arcadia continues to harass us with “Mattress Madness,” but we are standing up for our rights (& yours) in Court this Friday, AND I am still banned on Facebook, IG & YouTube! Sign the petition to restore my accounts: https://www.change.org/p/restore-susan-m-block-s-facebook-and-instagram-accounts !

As the last decade has brought about a dramatic shift in approaches to addressing climate change, water is increasingly at the forefront of the conversations around adaptation and resilience. In part, this is because more countries now experience the damaging effects of climate change through water-related events including rising sea levels, intensification of natural disasters, droughts, and flooding. In this week's New Security Broadcast, John Matthews, Executive Director of the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA), observes that the heightened attention to water has placed his group at the center of discussions at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. "We have been going to COPs since 2009,” says Matthews, “and trying to talk about adaption and resilience from a water perspective for a really long time now. It's changed a lot over the years….People were asking at a few of the earlier COPs: ‘Why are you here?'” In this episode, Matthews and his colleague Ingrid Timboe, Policy Director of AGWA speak with ECSP Director Lauren Risi and ECSP Associate Amanda King about water's rise “to the top of the agenda” at COP27 and beyond, as well as AGWA's vital work to support global and national climate-water adaptation and resilience policy. Egypt is one country among many coping with water insecurity, and Timboe says that its role as the host of COP27 will bring significant attention to the plight of water-scarce regions—as well as the challenges they face in implementing water adaptation plans. The “variability and sensitivity” of climate effects in these nations means that approaches to adaptation necessarily will be more complex. “It's not just about water scarcity when speaking to countries like Egypt,” she observes. “They're also experiencing flash floods.” AGWA's new pilot project—The Water Tracker—is one way that the alliance is sorting through these complexities. Matthews says that one key role for the Tracker is to act as an early warning system tool that “patrols for elevated sea rise, super typhoons, and extended droughts.” Timboe adds that the initiative also plays a more systemic role by helping countries assess how they can “integrate climate resilient water management across their national climate plans.” The Water Tracker assists nations as they look across their climate plans—including National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)—to understand how they can manage water resources in a way that will support their “goals for climate, disaster risk, sustainable, development, and biodiversity.” One place where the Water Tracker is doing this vital work is Vietnam, where 80 percent of the country's water is embedded in agricultural production. As Vietnam continues to develop its economy and transition to greater reliance on hydropower, AGWA is supporting that country's efforts to ensure these new hydropower facilities are environmentally and economically sustainable, as well as climate resilient. The challenges and complexities of water-based adaptation and resilience are clear. But Matthews and Timboe emphasize that they are heartened by water's growing role in transboundary cooperation, as momentum for regional cooperation around water adaptation builds in regions including Latin America and the Middle East. “The political process for thinking about peace in the Middle East is so broken and so stuck,” says Matthews. But a shared sense of risk in the region about climate change's impact on water security is creating a gateway to peacebuilding and resilience through transnational cooperation. “The Middle East has been the quietest part of our map since our founding 12 years ago,” he observes, “and it is starting to get noisy. And it's noisy in a really good way. People want to work together.” Contributions from the global water sector—including AGWA—will help drive new solutions and fundamental changes in overall approaches to adaptation. Yet Matthews and Timboe agree it is important that the sector move from reaction to anticipation in strengthening adaptive capacity and resilience through water resource management. “There's a lot of work we need to do on the water community to make sure that the work we're doing is something that's going to last,” concludes Matthews.

The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
As the dust settles from COP26, we take one last look back at the recent global climate conference that was held in Glasgow, Scotland in early November. Spanning two weeks and including hundreds of official events on top of high-level negotiations, it's not easy to digest all that took place. What were the major topics covered? What was achieved? And what opportunities were missed? We're here to help put things into context. On this episode of ClimateReady, we interview two colleagues from the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) representing different ends of the COP spectrum. John Matthews, AGWA's Exec. Director, has been attending these events for over a decade. We also hear from Pan Ei Ei Phyoe, a young water professional who participated in her first one this year. Both share honest and insightful feedback from their days on the ground driving the water-climate agenda. This episode is part of a four-part miniseries focusing on COP26 and international climate policy.

The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
This special episode of ClimateReady was taped live at the ongoing UNFCCC COP25 in Madrid, Spain. Ingrid and a special co-host, the Executive Director of AGWA, have a conversation with colleagues from the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). The four of them talk about the integral role of water in climate change solutions and actions as well as a newly launched background paper on water prepared for the Global Commission on Adaptation (www.adaptationsthirst.org). To watch the Facebook Live video interview, visit http://bit.ly/CR-COP25. The episode concludes with our “Climate of Hope” segment in partnership with the World Youth Parliament for Water. Stephanie Woodworth highlights the impact that climate change is having on the environment and communities where she lives, and the work being done with local youth that gives her hope.
The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
Each year climate negotiators gather for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties, or COP, to discuss how to address climate change. But how does science inform climate policy? Is climate policy actually based in science? Should technical professionals become involved in climate policy? If so, how? In this episode of ClimateReady, we bring in two people neck deep in climate and water policy despite having largely technical backgrounds. AGWA's Coordinator, Dr. John Matthews, interviews the Director of IUCN's Global Water Program, Dr. James Dalton, about the need for technical perspectives in the world of policy. Together, a biologist and an engineer discuss the challenges of entering a fast-paced arena that sometimes requires compromise and generalizations and the means by which interested (especially young) professionals can enter the fray. Following their conversation, we hear a “Postcard from the Future” that takes us to Beijing in 2050. Danielle Neighbour of the China Environment Forum at the Wilson Center highlights the benefits of coordinated water recycling for addressing water security in urban and rural settings. You can learn more about IUCN's Global Water Program at https://www.iucn.org/theme/water and the China Environment Forum at https://www.wilsoncenter.org/program/china-environment-forum.
The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
The Pacific Ocean is the most sparsely populated region on earth, while the island nations and peoples are also among the most threatened by climate change impacts. The isolation of these islands geographically is even akin to their isolation from western climate science and global climate policy discussions. In a time of rapid environmental, economic, and cultural change, how can we help these peoples and countries cope? Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) or indigenous ecological knowledge provide a valuable understanding of nature and culture to promote hope and positive action. In the first episode of Season 2, we meet Tui Shortland, Director of Te Kopu, Pacific Indigenous and Local Knowledge Centre of Distinction. Tui is a climate change leader for many of the island nations in the Pacific, and she's worked hard to create space for indigenous peoples and women in the international climate policy community. New openings have appeared recently. Fiji recently hosted COP23 in December 2017, and the UNFCCC has created a new means for voices from non-state actors such as NGOs, ethnic and indigenous minorities, gender groups to participate in climate negotiations structured through a Polynesian tradition called “Talanoa dialogues” (https://talanoadialogue.com/). Tui describes a positive, urgent vision for residents of the Pacific Islands who have done little to contribute to global climate change but now face a highly uncertain future in their homelands. Following that conversation, we bring in AGWA's Coordinator, John Matthews, to kick off a brand new segment called “Postcards from the Future.”
The ClimateReady Podcast: Adapting to Climate Change & Uncertainty
In this episode of the ClimateReady Podcast we take our listeners into the world of climate-water policy in the lead up to COP23 in Bonn (Nov. 6-17). Maggie White, Manager of International Policies at Stockholm International Water Institute (www.siwi.org) as well as AGWA's Co-Chair, joins in the discussion along with AGWA's Coordinator, Dr. John Matthews. We learn about the importance of international policy as a means for scaling up innovative and critical adaptation strategies, ways in which the scientific and policy communities can better coexist, and what will take place at COP23 this November.
