In this piece, TextaQueen pushes through dehumanising narratives cultivated by the Albanese Government's unjust economic strategy to remind us that people living with a disability will remain - grieving, relating, desiring, creating, suffering and resisting. Support the National Day of Action to “Protect Our NDIS” this Saturday 9 May starting 1PM outside the State Library of Victoria, Narrm.

The climate crisis is a crisis of imagination; we are stuck in a web of stories about what's possible. But voices outside the web are picking at the knots, opening other ways of being through different, older stories. This is the work of artists. And while you may not know it from how your tax dollars are spent, artists are a lifeline for our world in crisis.  Enter A Climate for Art (ACFA): a collective of artists, arts workers and organisations intent on mobilising their sector for climate action. This show features two recordings from a Symposium hosted by ACFA—in partnership with Next Wave, City of Melbourne, George Paton Gallery and Climate Action Network Australia—which together give a glimpse of how our biggest imaginations are responding to the climate crisis.Zena Cumpston is a Barkandji woman with Afghan, Irish and English heritage. Zena works as an artist, writer, researcher, curator and consultant and currently resides in Narrm/melbourne. Dr. Jacina Leong 梁玉明 is an artist-curator, educator and researcher whose practice engages with the intersections of community engagement, care ethics and curatorial inquiry. Currently living in Narrm/Melbourne, and working across cultural and educational spaces since 2008, her work considers how creative practices and organisations can respond to the converging crises of our time. https://www.aclimateforart.com.au/https://leifjustham.com/ Earth Matters #1538 was produced by Mia Audrey on Yuin Nation country.

Actor and author Tasma Walton was enjoying her big break on TV show Blue Heelers in the 1990s in Melbourne when a transformative visit from her grandmother launched her in a new direction.Boonwurrung/Bunurong woman, Tasma grew up in windy Geraldton, in Western Australia in the 1970s, hearing stories from her grandmother about baby whales and women who lived in kelp forests. These stories always featured a bay and very cold water — neither of which were in Geraldton.Many years later, while Tasma was filming Blue Heelers and living in St Kilda in Melbourne, her grandmother came to stay, and the stories she had told Tasma over and over again started to make sense.Except for one tale that had been sanitised for children's ears — a supposed love story between Tasma's great-great-great grandmother, Nannertgarrook, and a sealer man.As an adult, Tasma heard her calling and started to research the truth of what had happened to Nannertgarrook, generations ago.Further informationIf you need help, you can call the National domestic family and sexual violence counselling service on 1800-RESPECT — 1800 737 732.I Am Nannertgarrook is published by Simon & Schuster Bundyi.Tasma was named joint winner, with Robbie Arnott, of the $100,000 ARA Historical Novel Prize for 2025.Watch Reckless on SBS from Wednesday 12 November on SBS, NITV, and SBS ON DEMAND.This episode of Conversations was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Climate change is upon us. We are the first responders. How will we keep each other safe? How will we meet our needs? Who gets to have a say? These questions, and many others, are being tackled by everyday people in the movement for climate adaptation. In their stories is a wealth of inspiration, as well as crucial knowledge for an increasingly pressing project.  If you, along with me, and three quarters of the population, live in an urban area, stories of bushfires and flooding may feel far away. This show will hit closer to home: we'll hear from urban champions of the movement about why and how we need to prepare ourselves.  Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins is the Climate Justice Coordinator at Darebin Neighbourhood House Network, which consists of seven neighbourhood houses in Narrm's (melbourne's) inner north.

We are living on a compromised planet. Alongside acting to slow the pace of change, we have to adapt; and prepare for increasingly challenging conditions. Communities everywhere are already doing this, often independent of - and in spite of - the actions of their governments. On this show, and next month, I share some examples of community-led climate adaptation on this continent. You'll hear how individuals and organisations are working to build resilience, respond collectively to climate impacts, and prepare for escalating disaster. Amanda Kelly is the CEO of Women's Health Goulburn North East, a feminist organisation based in North-east Victoria which co-produced a research report on disaster resilience called ‘Care Through Disaster'.  Sasha Mainbridge is a resident of Mullumbimby, in the flood-prone Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.

Food sovereignty is the ability to make informed choices about our food, to define our own food systems, and to access healthy, culturally appropriate food that is produced sustainably. Food sovereignty puts the needs of the people who produce and consume food at the heart of food systems, and is key to addressing the overlapping crises of climate, hunger and inequality.  On this show, you'll hear some ways this is put into practice, through the work of four different food initiatives and advocacy groups operating in ‘Australia'.The Australian Food Sovereignty Alliance (AFSA) is a farmer-led civil society organisation of people working together towards socially-just and ecologically-sound food and agriculture systems that foster the democratic participation of Indigenous Peoples, smallholders, and local communities in decision making processes.Supporticulture Cooperative is a specialised disability cooperative based in Greensborough that provides agricultural work opportunities for people living with intellectual or physical disabilities. Its public face, Caring Farms Cooperative, is an agroecological food enterprise in Greensborough, featuring a market garden tended by a collective of people living with disabilities and their supporters. The Just Food Collective is a not-for-profit advocacy organisation founded in 2021 by emerging food systems leaders. Comprised of graduates in Food Studies, ex-hospitality workers, young researchers and people working in advocacy and grassroots organisations, Just Food mobilises youth and future leaders in the battle for a more equitable, just, and sustainable food system. Guerilla Gardening Narrm is a collective creating community gardens on public land in Narrm, Melbourne. Their first garden, the Radicle Roots garden, was established in 2023 in De Chene Reserve, Coburg.

Restoring Democracy in the Disinformation Age Access to reliable, accurate information is essential for democracy. From misleading health advice to conspiracy theories, unchecked disinformation risks swaying elections, jeopardising ecosystems, and even inciting violence. In fact, the World Economic Forum ranks misinformation and disinformation the number one short-term threat to humanity and progress.This week on the show, we hear from experts at the Disinformation and Democracy Forum hosted by Australian Democracy Network last month in Narrm (melbourne). It's a timely opportunity to hear from those dealing with the impacts of disinformation, about how we can address the threat while safeguarding free speech, empowering citizens, and holding big tech companies accountable for their role in shaping our democracy.Jane Gardner is the Director of Engagement at the Australian Conservation Foundation. She previously led communications and media at the Climate Council, Save the Children and at the University of Melbourne. Before this, she worked as a daily newspaper reporter.

Have you been to a farmers' market recently?  If so, you'll know the great feeling that buying locally grown food and connecting with your community brings. You'll also be contributing to something bigger. Localisation is a rapidly growing movement resisting globalisation through the rebuilding of place-based cultures, strengthening local communities, and reconnecting people with nature. It's an alternative economic model offering a healthier way of living in the face of increasing threats to human and ecological wellbeing. This week on Earth Matters we speak to Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder of the worldwide localisation movement and the international non-profit organization Local Futures.  We also speak environmental leader Arabella Douglas, a Minyunbul woman of the Bunjalung nation who is addressing environmental challenges in Northern NSW and South East Queensland. Arabella shares the philosophy behind social change think tank Currie Country Social Change and also, her vision for women's environmental leadership in the Pacific and at home. For further information on Arabella and Helena's work including a full list of resources and link to Helena's book ‘Ancient Futures', head to the website links above. You can view Helena's documentary on her experience in Ladakh here. Helena Norberg-Hodge and Arabella Douglas are speaking at WOMAD - The Planet Talks Adelaide, March 8-10 This week's show is episode #1492 and was produced by Claudia Craig on the unceded lands of the Kulin Nation in Narrm. Image featuring Renzo and Rosie of Renzo's Fresh, Echuca Farmers' Market, kindly supplied by the Victorian Farmers' Market Association.

On this episode of Women on the Line we speak with Iranian-born, Narrm based, visual artist and fine art photographer, Ramak Bamzar, about her show Pro Femina. Pro Femina is currently being exhibited as part of the Ballarat International Photo Biennale at the Art Gallery of Ballarat until 22 October this year. Her show features new works which comment on women involved in the Iranian uprisings of 2022, as well as selected works of her photograph series Moustachioed Women and Rhinoplastic Girls. We discuss themes such as Iranian culture and aesthetics, beauty in brutality and brutality in beauty and Iranian women's resistance and fight for freedom. Ramak Bamzar (born. 1980) is an Iranian-born visual artist and fine art photographer based in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia. Her work explores how cultural and religious norms can shape women's beliefs, values, and behaviours and influence their sense of self-worth and agency.In her works, Bamzar also investigates the influence of the male gaze on women's beauty and fashion and its consequences on women's self-esteem and self-image. Women who do not conform to these restrictive beauty standards may feel pressured to conform, leading to feelings of inadequacy, shame, and low self-esteem. Bamzar completed a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art– Photography in Tehran and her Master of Fine Arts from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University in 2022.

Our talented new co-host, Shehrazade made their debut on Queering The Air. They has the opportunity to engage in a conversation with an  artist, Lane Milburn. Additionally, they provided updates on the happenings of NOIDOC WEEK at the 3CR radio station, as well as the various events taking place in and around Narrm. Lane MilburnA working artist by day, and a sleepless writer by night, Lane Milburn is a full-time multidisciplinarian. Lane works as a tattoo artist, preserving his painting, illustration, and writing as mostly private pursuits, that see light of day on his terms with exhibitions and spoken word performances. In tattooing, Lane is both wizard and witness to transformation, setting standards for inclusion, consent, and body positivity. Studio rules: Come as you are. Leave whenever you like. In his personal practice, Lane explores themes of home, identity, and metaphysics, rejecting palatable storytelling in favour of dreamlike visual art, prose, poetry, and prickery. Fuelled by caffeine and chained to a desk at night, every bio he writes about himself in the third person is closer to a cry for help of someone held hostage by commas than it is a description of who he is. He spent too long in the closet to be put in any box.Photo by Valentin Zhmodikov UPCOMING EVENTS: NAIDOC WEEKEID AL ADHA by LGBTQIA+ MUSLIMSMUSIC Sah sah by Nancy ajram and marshmellow Got weird by Dodie James Dean by kairokee Pink light by MUNA  ___________________Disclaimer:At queering the air, we aim to use our platform to celebrate a diversity of individuals in our community.
