A look at the 2022 Parrtijma Festival with curator Rhoda Roberts

This week, we meet Hetti Perkins, the senior Curator-at-large of Ceremony, the fourth National Indigenous Art Triennial, and Rhoda Roberts, curator of the Parrtjima Festival.

This week on No Filter, we're proud to introduce Narelda Jacobs as our guest host.  Rhoda Roberts is one of the most influential Australians there is. She's a nurse, a journalist, broadcaster, actor, producer, writer, art advisor, and artistic director. And she's responsible for a lot of huge cultural moments in this country. From the Awakening ceremony during the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics to coining the phrase welcome to country. But she's also been through a lot. In 1972 she watched her father Frank Roberts Jnr be introduced by Gough Whitlam at the Tent Embassy on the grounds of Old Parliament House in Canberra, to talk about land rights. In 1979, while training to be a nurse in Lismore, the matron at the hospital told her to go home, because she was just going to get pregnant like the other girls. Of course, Aunty Rhoda persisted. In 1999, Aunty Rhoda and her family went through the most heinous of tragedies when her twin sister Lois was found murdered. A crime that is still to this day unsolved.  On this episode of No Filter Rhoda sits down with guest host Narelda Jacobs to talk about her life…  THE END BITS: With thanks to Rhoda Roberts Feedback?

The arts industry has been slammed by Covid-19, with many thousands of events cancelled and artists out of work. Indigenous art has been particularly affected.  Aboriginal directors Wesley Enoch and Rhoda Roberts believe creative expression is so powerful it can help break down racial prejudice. But now, they fear that a generation of indigenous creatives might be left behind.

Arts leaders Wesley Enoch and Rhoda Roberts AO reflect on the legacy of writer Oodgeroo Noonuccal and activism in the arts. The first published Aboriginal poet in Australia, the writings of Oodgeroo Noonuccal (Kath Walker), captured both the strength of Aboriginal culture and the impacts of colonisation on her people. A charismatic, strong leader from Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island), her distinctive voice pricked the national consciousness and brought another perspective to the literature of the time. Wesley Enoch, who grew up on Minjerribah, has strong memories of “Aunty Kath”, and is now returning to Country and carrying on her legacy. In this very personal session, arts leaders Wesley Enoch and Rhoda Roberts AO share their memories of Noonuccal and discuss how arts and activism are inseparable.
