Nici Cumpston, a proud Barkandji artist, curator, writer, and educator, highlights the significance of the Barka (Darling River) and the Murray-Darling Basin in her work. 
Through her art and advocacy, she addresses the crisis facing these vital waterways, emphasizing the need for recognition and protection. Documenting the backwaters and inland lake systems since 2000, she captures the ongoing connection and responsibility of Aboriginal peoples to the land. Her portraits of trees and waterways serve as a platform for discussion, urging collective action to safeguard our water resources. 
Cumpston's work invites us to humanize the rivers, recognizing their role as lifelines that sustain us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As custodians of the land, she calls for a cultural responsibility to care for these vital ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of speaking up to ensure their protection for future generations.
In the 2020 Queen's Birthday Honours, Cumpston was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for "service to the museums and galleries sector, and to Indigenous art"
Through various projects, collaborations, and exhibitions, she reflects on how photography serves as a powerful medium for storytelling, cultural expression, and raising awareness about environmental and social issues. We also touch on the challenges and opportunities in photography today, including the impact of digital technology and the role of ethical considerations when working on sacred lands.
I hope you enjoy the show!

Hilary Younger  grew up pretty much alone, on a horse, in the bush...with a tendency to dream, and to become lost for hours in such things as a flower, or the wind on her face.
Photography was a lure for many years, but has only been an integral part of Hilary’s life since 2007 merging with a deep love of the natural world.
There is, at the bottom of it all, a deep reverence for land and life.
For Hilary, landscape photography is an expression of the unique relationship of the photographer with the land. My photography is an attempt to communicate intimate moments in that relationship, which stir the emotions and touch the spirit.
We explore Hilary's progress through the world of photography, starting from her introduction to landscape photography out of personal crisis to her profound journeys across the Tasmanian wilderness and international deserts. 
Hilary shares her transformative experiences, the risks taken to capture breathtaking shots, and the pivotal role of solitude in artistic creation along with lots more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
