I'm really focused this year on trying to tell stories about the contribution that art, artists and creativity can play in making the world a more thoughtful, responsive, inclusive and, well, better place.
Lauren Brincat's current exhibition at The Lock-Up in Newcastle was the perfect opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary work she did over 2023-2024 across the Randwick Health & Innovation Precinct considering ideas of care, public space and safety, community in collaboration with healthcare workers and local creatives. It was a joy to travel to Newcastle to experience the exhibition, to talk to Lauren and to write about it for the ABC. You can read the story here.
