Nick yarns with the Koori Mail’s Journalist and photographer, Palawa woman, Jillian Mundy and Tasmanian artist Julie Gough first up, about an extraordinary truth telling project both women are involved in, currently underway in Nipaluna, Hobart.

Gunai woman Kirli Saunders yarns with Nick about her new solo art exhibition, Returning, and how Kirli is is using her voice through poetry and art to talk about decolonisation and truth telling. 

The BLAKroom news podcast is a Koori Mail production.
