In March this year, a ‘rain bomb’ across northern NSW and south-east Queensland severely impacted arts organisations in two states.
The ambitious project started in March, and a conversation was presented every Friday – continuing over 100 weeks. The irony that these conversation are ‘recorded in a former coal-burner’ is not lost on anyone. The project’s archive will become part of the Powerhouse’s collection for future generations.
