What have we learnt from apartments we have built in the past? What kind of apartments do we want in the future? What do we know about apartment life in Australia and internationally; about design standards, enforced and common sense; and explore the spectrum of design responses that emerge from both public and private housing projects?

This week! We’re going through our open tabs and will be discussing corporate vegetarianism, the future of retail, and how to build a functional home. Helping us bring some outside perspective today is our special guest Jana Perkovic. Jana is the editor of Assemble Papers, a Melbourne-based magazine about small footprint living across art, architecture, design, environment, and financial matters, which neatly brings together her background in urbanism and her interest in telling stories through media. She has worked in urban policy in Brussels and in place-making through art in Berlin, and she also works as a researcher in urban design and planning policy at the University of Melbourne. To make sure both sides of her brain get used, she also has a side gig as a performing arts critic and dramaturg. Jana writes a long-standing column on theatre for The Lifted Brow, and co-creates Audiostage, a podcast of conversations with creatives. Basically, she’s amazing. Remember! We are now an ENHANCED podcast.

"When you're trying to deconstruct the dominant structures, it's not going to happen politely, is it?" - Jade Lillie Welcome to the final episode of the season on race, womanhood, and belonging - and you're in for a real treat. To close a season created in partnership with Footscray Community Arts Centre, we speak with two head ladies of FCAC about the ethos that guides FCAC's work. Departing Artistic Director Jade Lillie, and Head of Programming Lydia Fairhall, discuss white privilege, their personal history with both feminism and decolonisation, and what it really takes to create a community. "I don't know that spending my life attacking power structures is going to be as of much benefit for me, in this life, as trying to cultivate peace and forgiveness. (...) It's a hard thing to think about. I'm the first woman in her family to keep her children. I have that luxury. My mother never did. Should I just be out there? Fighting the big fight? I don't know. It's a constant tension for me." - Lydia Fairhall This conversation was not programmed for WOW Festival Melbourne, but instead was recorded separately a few months after the festival had ended, amidst the news that Jade had won this year's Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship and would be leaving FCAC at the end of 2017. We jumped at the opportunity to speak with these two leaders, crucial in the running of FCAC and in shaping the community arts space in Australia. It is an intimate conversation, a reflection on practice informed by years of conversations and collaboration, and a deep, informed closure to a season of uncompromising conversations - a season which, in this year of shocks and instability, has so often grounded us in what really matters. Jade Lillie is a recognised leader in community arts, with a practice grounded in the philosophy that arts and cultural development can bring about systemic change when there is sound engagement with social justice frameworks. After years of work in government and non-government agencies, in Australia as well as South-East Asia, Jade's practice has been recognised with numerous prestigious awards - including Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship. Lydia Fairhall is the Head of Programming at Footscray Community Arts Centre. Starting out as a singer/songwriter, she has worked as a writer, academic, cultural community development worker, festival and event producer, and has worked in a variety of settings, including in family violence and suicide prevention, housing, dance, music, theatre and comedy. Colleagues, friends, changemakers and community builders - Jade and Lydia sat together in the Footscray Community Arts Centre where they have both worked for years to delve deeply into their practice, their work at FCAC, and what it means to belong. Discussed in this episode: what is home after two centuries of displacement?, Stolen Generations, the logical family, sphere of influence, doors that open are twofold, John Howard, lineage, Queensland as the canary in the Australian political coal mine, being homeless but not knowing it, glass ceilings, James Baldwin, big fat asterisks, being a queer woman, dismantling privilege, Buddhist nuns that take us under their wing, righteous anger, decolonisation and breaking bread, hope and solidarity, and how theatre is a vehicle of social justice. Jade: "You were saying this morning that this will be a time that we look back on, when we're older, as being a time of significant change." Lydia: "...but it being the beginnings of things." This was the last episode of season five of Audiostage, in which we looked at belonging through the eyes of women. It was created in partnership with Footscray Community Arts Centre as part of WOW – Women of the World Festival Melbourne, delivered in association with Southbank Centre London. Audiostage is a labour of love, created by Jana Perkovic and Bethany Atkinson, while the music for this season was created by Louise Terra.

"Making art is a sedimentation of layers. What we make today indirectly reflects what was done before. Maybe it comes as an opposition, or a continuation, as an echo, but we need to be aware of that. And I do think that in Australia we are not aware of what's been done." - Angela Conquet In episode three, the Artistic Director of Dancehouse, Melbourne's home of contemporary dance, Angela Conquet, joins hosts Jana Perkovic and Fleur Kilpatrick. We talk about contemporary dance in Australia, what makes it particular; about the urgency to preserve it, and whether Australia, being such a young country, is not aware of the forces of impermanence. Discussed in this episode: Russell Dumas, how much space Australian pedestrians take, reinventing hot water, RoseLee Goldberg not getting Australian dance, what it means to have or not have a revolution, Merce Cunningham, the historical importance of being seen at Avignon, and much else. "As the in-house Australian here, I apologise on behalf of us all for our extravagant use of space." - Fleur Kilpatrick Enjoy and stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come.

“There is a good side to not being crushed by culture. I think in Europe you're really aware of the centuries and centuries of Western culture and it has all been done. One of the beautiful things about Australian writing, culture and performance is this sense that that's not hanging over everybody. I think at its best there is a tremendous freedom in Australian performance, a huge intelligence and a kind of disrespect that's really healthy.” – Alison Croggon In episode two poet, novelist, critic and commentator Alison Croggon, joins hosts Jana Perkovic and Fleur Kilpatrick. We talk about the place of the review in art documentation and how one balances the responsibilities that the critic has to the artist, the audience and to history. “What there mustn't be is one singular discourse saying 'this is how it was'. That's what I've always felt most hostile towards,” says Alison. “(We are now) letting go of the fiction that I think happens less and less, that critics are the objective judges of whatever art happens around their feet and entering much more into the flux of the moment. The moment passes. It must pass. Because it is mortal. That is true of all art but it is why theatre and performance are so extraordinary and so beautiful.” Discussed in this episode: the mutual dependency of blogs and independent theatre, Robert Brustein, when reviewers are incorrect, Requiem for the 20th Century, internet trolls (all men!), and the cowardice of anonymity. "There was always some very brilliant work going on under the skin in Australia. In other places that work would get noticed, and in this country it just didn't. And I suppose I felt really strongly about that, because I saw so many artists who were kind of destroyed by that - that they simply might not have bothered." - Alison Croggon Enjoy and stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come.
